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 : 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!
