I no it is years later and no one may see this but I have an infection in my 5 year old knee replacement. Scheduled for surgery in two weeks and I don’t want it. I want to find a infectious disease doctor to give me antibiotics and then a doctor to clean it out and let me try that at least before the radical surgery because I have RA severely so I have limited use of my arms hands and my other leg needs a knee replacement. If I have the surgery with the knee taken out I don’t see how I could take care of myself or get up or down off anything. I don’t see how I could go to the bathroom. Nonetheless sit in a chair and get up. I cry every day and hope to God for a miracle to cure my infection.
