Ligament instability after TKR?

Hello Apriljoy,
Thanks for your reply! I have been told an MRI was useless because of the scatter from the metal implant. I take 50 mg Lyrica at night for pain, a cbd/melatonin capsule and use cbd cream to help with sleep. I have a referral request for university of San Francisco med center , my fourth consult. Can’t take NSAIDs as they cause my diverticulosis to flare up. Tylenol doesn’t do much. Hope it’s something that can be addressed without a revision as they have less success than the original tkr. Don’t think it’s fluid but could be scar tissue which could be removed but then more scar tissue is formed from that ☹️. X-rays and bone scan all clear which is good but doesn’t take care of the 24/7 pain. No fabella bone per X-ray and not popliteal tendon. Good luck to you! Please post how successful this latest procedure is. Hugs!

I will and thanks for all your support and information. It really helps reading about other’s journeys. It’s so frustrating not being able to get to the root of the pain. I’ve thought about going to Mayo Clinic for a 4th consultation if this fluid drainage doesn’t help before getting a revision- which I really don’t want to endure.
