Loose knee implant

@lmc I was taken by your "BEG him to order an MRI." During my eight year experience with knee pain following a TKR and a revision I have had every exam from x-rays to bone scans but never an MRI. I've requested an MRI of many different Orthos during this period and always denied with some vaque reasoning. I don't know why there's a reluctance to obtain any additional information that may explain our pain.

@ouch89 I didn’t an have an MRI, X-ray only.

MRI are expensive. Maybe your insurance company might not pay.

@ouch89
I had an MRI, it was almost unreadable due to the negative effect the metal (titanium) in the implant had on the magnetic resonance imaging.
