First I would get a second opinion….. if it were me I would not let that Dr do one more thing to my knee ….in my own experience I had tkr Dr put in wrong size I found this out after going getting second opinion 8 weeks out with xray Dr took after surgery…. New Dr said it was 2-3 sizes too big that why all the pain and swelling ….. but he also told me I had to wait 1 year to do revision because it can hurt the tendons and area around the knee won’t heal properly if you operate to soon …so scare me for you that Dr was quick to do surgery on you for something he forgot to do when he was in there……get second opinion you might even need a lawyer , not sure these Dr get away with doing a lot they are not held responsible for but you should check into……I am 62 and active it is tough going through all these surgeries scar tissue is not our friend, so get your second opinion by a Dr outside your Dr network, try some mfr this will help with pain and swelling…. And good luck

Thank you, I have been thinking about getting a second opinion but all the doctors know each other and they will call to asks questions about me.
I was black listed when I had recommended surgery for breast cancer. I was diagnosed in 2012 the plastic surgeon did a great job at first then the fat grafting didn't take it got to the point it was 2 sizes different she told be she didn't see anything wrong and told me I was never going to be satisfied among other things. I went to 6 different surgeon's that would not help me. So I am afraid that It will happen again

GOOD ADVICE!!
