Have another orthopedist - one skilled in revisions - do a joint aspiration. I complained for 5 years about my knee replacement pain. Finally, when I became ill with a fever and body-wracking chills and sudden excruciating pain in the knee - 5 years after the TKR, a new orthopedist took it seriously. My prosthesis is aligned and mechanically functional. But I have a slow growing indolent bacterial infection that now requires revision. I hope you do not have an infection, but insist that this be investigated. And be better. Healing wishes for you ( and me!)
Good evening @maraglenn02
I wanted to make sure I found you again to explain that "MUA" means "Manipulation under Anesthesia". Sometimes post-surgery conditions can be moderated by manipulating the components of the knee while the patient is under anesthesia. Was that offered to you as a possibility?
Have you felt threatened by anyone regarding your surgeries? Are you being denied access to services?
May you be free, safe, and protected from inner and outer harm?
