I had total knee replacement about 8 years ago. Multiple problems. Had injection done just before surgery to help with post op pain. Immediately after surgery, I woke up rubbing my upper thigh as that was where the pain was (not the knee). I could not lift my leg at all for 3 months and had severe pain in my upper thigh. I was scared I would never have movement in that leg again. Had muscle atrophy, and took almost a year for pain to go away and to regain movement in my leg. To boot, I now have leg discrepancy height, due to the surgery which has caused my back to shift (causing lower back pain) and now have torn 4 ligaments/tears in my hip/buttocks ( causing severe pain in my hip) due to added pressure and strain on this part of the body. Knee Implant was the wrong one and I need to get it replaced. Scared to go through that all again but need to do something about my knee because I can hardly walk now due to back and hip pain from strain and ligament tears. Don't trust 90% doctors most just want to make money and who is good as a surgen? Any suggestions of a good knee replacement doctor?
