Thank you for your reply. Have you sought other ortho consults? I did have a spacer revision on the knee in May this year in hopes that would help. To date, no great improvement. I will continue to explore if there is anything that can be done to be able to walk normally before I give up. Good luck to you as well.

Sorry to hear of the continued pain and difficulty walking. Did you go to PT after revision? Changing your leg length would also change your gait and the stresses on muscles, tendons and ligaments. A PT is best equipped to help you work through the adjustments.

I have an appointment with my current ortho in November. He is going to evaluate what’s happening. I’ll let you know.
