Hello, I just read your comment on your second TKR….IM SO SORRY YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS.
I have a question for you. Are you or did you ever have allergy testing done before either of your TKR.?
I was never allergic in all my years (which is over 70). It was after my TKR that I found out I am allergic to neomycin (antibiotic) and methyl methacrylate ( this is the composite which holds the glue together! I found out normally, if you have a good doctor then.(he/she ) dr. should have sent you for allergy testing.. I’m 16 mo. Post operative, saw 9 drs! 2 were out of state, all due due to pain that I still The #9;dr. Suggested that I take an LTT blood test which, isn’t covered by insurance.
My Dr. Found out that I’m Not allergic to ANYTHING, that was inside my knee. But I am allergic to the methyl methyl me but, only topically!. It might give you some insight as to what’s going on for you. My dr. also sent me for an
MRI and he took x rays,
I wish you good health in your future. I hope I have given you some insight and something to think about as you move forward. Good luck on this journey!

The MRI & x-ray were for possible allergy issues?
Thank you for the allergy data.

Hello, thanks for contributing to my question.
I have never done any type of allergy test. That did go through my head though, with a panic, what would happen if that were the case? Ugh!
I had an xray right after the surgery, or I was hallucinating that they did that lol! But I go Tuesday for my post op and get xrays then. So far everyone has said the joint seems to be good. I think it’s this lump that appeared on the inside. Doc said it’s a hematoma and probably pressing on a nerve which causes the pain. He isnt concerned about it though, so I’m trying to not worry about that either.
(It’s just a strange and solid and sensitive lump)
Thanks again! All ideas and insight are very appreciated!
