allergic reaction to bone cement

Hello. I live in Denver and had TKR in March 2020. Have total extension and flexing but knee always ached, swelled, hot. Had 2 aspirations from knee- both brought out 30cc BLOOD. Have seen 4 docs- Denver and Vail- told normal and wait until 1 year. Waited- no relief. Just had allergy tests- yep allergic to methacrylates- bone glue. Told to take antihistamines. Any other suggestions?

How frustrating. At least you have the answer to "why?" Now you need help with "what's next? "

Do the antihistamines help? Have you talked to both the allergist and ortho about what to expect or watch for in the future?
