Hello, I’ve had pain, swelling, and the area by my new knee’s joint is always warm to touch.
My TKR was done Aug. 2019. I have seen 5 knee specialists, all agreed I needed a revision, but all for different reasons! The very LAST dr. Sent me for allergy testing....I went and found out that I am allergic to the bone cement and the antibiotic my surgeon used. It sounds like you may need to have allergy testing done for metals, cements and antibiotics,
When I went I didn’t or should say never had allergies prior to my TKR.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU GO FOR ALLERGY TESTING. I just sorry that you have to go though this. It’s very frustrating.. They should make allergy testing part of protocol prior to any implant surgery. Good luck. Irish283@irish283

You are absolutely correct!!!

What did they do to fix your problem?
I have a shoulder replacement that broke in Pt
and my pain has been outrageous.
My first surgeon used cement too. I am do to just replace a “part” on the prosthesis, because
Of the rod being cemented in.
