@mg402 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.

It sounds like you have serious unexplained issues regarding your TKR and you are looking for support.

You'll notice that I moved your question to a previous discussion related to this topic where members @wildebjef @contentandwell @eeppeerr88 @carlin @babette @ardis3 @carlin have discussed this topic in the past.

May I ask how large the hospital system is you are receiving care at?

Hi Erika, I have been to several large systems. Duke, Rush, Ortho Carolina and Denver Ortho.
The problem seems to be that most of the docs agree that this is most likely a metal/concrete allergy but my posts both lower and upper are complicated to remove. Honestly, I think no one wants to be responsible for taking my implant out.
I’m open to ANY suggestions.
Thank you
