Hardware removal after tibial plateau fracture (tpf)

Hi, I know this is an old post but i think seeing this has reinforced my thinking that i have a screw or 2 that have gone through my bone from my Tibial Plateau surgery in January. I'm having pain and have mentioned to the physio which he said it could be pes anserine bursitis as i have some inflammation there but it also could be pushing on my MCL too. The same area is where i had a 10cm blood clot post surgery when they finally took me serious about the pain as it was on the opposite side of my knee away from the surgery incision. I'm wondering if it was a combination of it all but was just ridden off as the blood clot as that's the first thing they seen as this is resolved now but the pain is still there and now the inflammation you can see slightly. I hope you are all going well on your journey and have things better sorted with less suffering 🙂

Thank you. I hope you are getting some relief as well. Yes removing hardware did help with pain. Unfortunately for me I had two different types of pain. The one kind which the hardware caused, the other pain in my right SI joint where I’ve had 12 failed Sacrolliac fusions. I’ve also had my L4 & L5 disc fused. Last year I also had my right SI joint fused for the last time. Good news is it finally fused. The bad news is I’m in the worst pain of my life. It’s residual pain from all the surgeries. There is no pain med that will give me relief. I’ve heard the pain stimulator won’t work with my pain. I’ve run out of options. My pain level is on a torture level. Anyways best of luck to you and I hope they can figure things out for you.
