The doctor who want to use DePuy IS the second opinion.

After the first knee done at a teaching hospital/clinic, that knee didn't heal quite well. I have some stabilization issue when my knee reaches a certain point at almost straight, and numbness down the front of my entire leg below the knee up to and including the ankle... not to mention some pain and what feels like it's almost always swollen. And that doc just takes xrays and says the hardware is fine, good bye.

So this second doc was recommended by a neighbor. And now here we are. All I can really do is have someone on the phone with me to help as an advocate to make sure I don't miss any questions or concerns, so I'm trying that this time.

Between both knees, it's just really wearing me out to the point I'm not sure if I should even bother with the second even though it hurts and inhibits my walking.
