What’s most “annoying “ to me is that my surgeon dismissed my complaints. Over and over I explained that the knee seemed to “snap back” when I was walking, that every 45 minutes to an hour I was awakened during the night in horrible pain. The surgeon “never” listened to me, never ordered any additional testing. Just told me “to wait until a year was up.” I asked her is she thought it reasonable to assume the knee would be better, when I’m fact each week, each month it was getting worse? She again dismissed me. When I finally sought another opinion, that surgeon listened and ordered a nuclear bone scan. It was obvious from the scan that there was a total mechanical failure and loosening of the implant. I suffered months and months (torchured) unnecessary. Now I am waiting to get a surgery date which will be couple months more. I must say this also my original surgeon was not at Mayo, but I did seek a second opinion from Mayo and was “dismissed” as well. Very disappointing.
