For those searching for a reason for pain long after the replacement, here’s the short version of my story.

Two years, ten surgeons, 2 bone scans, 2 MRIs, an allergy test, a nerve conduction test, a muscle conduction test and more Xrays than I can count later — my pain in my knee and inability to stand or walk was caused by a broken bone in my foot that shredded the tendon.

The foot surgeon who found the bone fragment in my foot said the bone was probably broken the day of the knee surgery.

There is a reason you hurt. Don’t stop looking for it. Someone will help you
