I feel your pain. I had a TKA in August 2020. It came loose in September 2022 and I had a revision. It was alright at first, but upon use (walking, sitting/standing, etc.) it continued to get more swollen, painful, stiff and disfigured. I was told that I needed another surgery but I won’t go to my original surgeon and no other doctor in our mid-sized town will try to repair another surgeon’s work. I am fairly sure that this is due to my known nickel allergy. At this point, I’m waiting to see a second doctor for a referral to an out of town surgeon. I’m scared.

I will add you to my prayers. I do pray that the medical professionals will come together to figure our questions out and provide clear, successful solutions.

God bless you. Hang in there.

Be sure and have a complete blood metal panel run before deciding on a replacement implant. Test also for bone cement allergy. Medicare won't pay for this $600.00 test, but it's the best $600 I ever spent.
