I had a second opinion,
He told that my implant was fine. He then wanted to take an x-ray of my back. After have the x-rays done he came back to show them to me . He said that my back is all messed up and that might were my pain in my knee is coming from. I told him that I did not want back surgery. He told me that he would talk to other doctors and get back to me, haven't heard anything yet. That was a week ago. His field is with hip and knees, I feel that they are just pulling straws and just tell me other things. Now I am waiting for a call back. I think I will be crippled for the rest of my life.

My surgeon said the same thing about my back pain causing my knee pain. So I had an epidural. it helped my back but not my knee. Bottom line- your back isn't the problem. I then had a revision to scrape scar tissue. Helped a great deal.
