Does anyone have a hinged knee replacement?

I have Ehlers Danlos. My ligaments/all soft tissue are genetically faulty. I’ve had 3 acl surgeries when I was younger. Now-age 62… something had to be done-my pain in my knee is unbearable.
I had a hinge knee replacement on December 5, 2025. I’m at 3 months recovery- I’m having pain recently in the mid thigh location. I’ve been not exercising…. I have full range of flexion at this time. But, it hurts when I initially stand up and put weight on it.
I did some research today- I’m thinking I may have an infection in my bone??? It’s Friday eve…. I can’t call Dr until Monday morning.
Otherwise- my hinge knee has been spectacular. Praying I don’t have an infection.

@jstefandel123 Thank you for responding. I pray you don’t have an infection and that everything will be resolved satisfactorily. It’s good to hear that you’ve otherwise had good mobility with no other issues. My knee buckles and collapsed without warning. My quality of life has been seriously impacted, to say the least so I need answers and possible solutions. I plan to see my surgeon and if he is not forthcoming, it’s time I got a second opinion.
Best of luck to you!

@jstefandel123 : I’ve been taking JournaVX for my pain after knee replacement. My understanding is that it is somewhat new. My doc had not heard of it at first. I got the name from another friend who had knee replacement at another clinic. Anyway, JournaVX is a non opioid pain reliever, so a better option for me than Oxy.
Good luck to you. Hope this helps!
