@damewocane I'm sorry that the ablation did not work, that must have been discouraging, particularly since you were in greater pain afterward.
When you say a "synovial ganglion implant" that sounds like more than a shot, is it? I had synovial shots prior to my TKRs and they did help. There are a couple of brands but I found that Synvisc seemed to work best for me, although that could just have been a coincidence, perhaps the doctor or PA administering the shot of the other brand didn't do as good a job.

Certainly, I would not do another TKR without having the allergy testing, it could be fruitless if that's the problem. Is your flex still very low too?

Update on my sad knee scar tissue disaster- I moved away from Florida and was recently seen by a top ortho md in my new city- It was pronounced inoperable-No surgeon will touch it as it is too badly botched and I am stuck with a permanent limp and chronic pain which is relentless. i pray that no one else Ever has to endure such a sad prognosis.
