12 surgeries on R knee

Posted by trinkitz007 @trinkitz007, Mar 31 12:14am

I was wondering if they heard of a knee like this getting unfused ?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bones, Joints & Muscles Support Group.

I have had 4 knee surgeries and a partial replacement. My foot as now numb and my knee continues to be sore and stiff .It has given out multiple times and I’ve fallen in which I have torn my bicep and rotator cuff trying to catch myself.

Are you also dealing with peripheral neuropathy in your feet from another cause or unknown cause????

Suggest having a nerve conduction test. I had one and found out there is permanent nerve damage from the TKR Peroneal nerve damage. Luckily I have strength in my lower leg - But no sensory. Also stiff knee ( scar tissue). Have Done PT exercises every day for the past two years to keep it from getting any stiffer.

@spinner2 I have had two EMG tests done. It shows the brachial plexus causing arm weakness. Also had one done for foot numbness they think it’s permanent.My knee has given out multiple times with me falling. I have an appointment at Duke the 20th to ck on arm weakness . Thanks for your response.
