I had revision knee surgery on Aug 15 and three weeks after surgery I got this awful pain in my shin, they say it's because of the rod they placed in the tibia stem. My leg needs to heal around this stem. The rod is long. I had a nuclear bone scan and my leg is very very inflamed. They say to give it time. Meanwhile I'm in constant pain. Ice and elevate. I walk with a cane outside and it's painful to walk very far. Does any of this sound familiar?
