I had TKR 2yrs ago , terrible, then a revision 7 months ago , still swelling below the knee. They tried draining it , nothing. No one seems to have answers other than “ this sometimes happens “. My pain is off the charts with any weight baring Every X-ray or ct scan says nothing wrong. Looks like I am headed for STEMWAVE PNS. You mentioned MRI , I was told that is not reliable after TKR

To sipinrosa64, hello. You mentioned that after your revision you can’t see any improvement at all and what is STEMWAVE PINS? I am 16 mos. post op....found out at 13 mos. post op that I’m allergic to the bone cement and the anti antibiotic . Ever since surgery I have complained about this horrible pain , swelling and warm or hot to the touch. My doc says, “your just one of those patients...” all I want to be is able to sleep through he night and be able to shop or go to store for my family without this exclusion wiping me out for the rest of the day! Appreciate any insight you have! Irish283
