What were your symptoms re. your allergy to metal? (I’m trying to figure out if it might be my problem as my symptoms aren’t all typical…)
Thank you.

I have pain in my whole leg up my thighs and in my calves into my ankle and foot. I tell the Dr's I can feel my implant. I had a revision done 3 months after the first TKR as my glue came loose and my implant was moving around in my leg. The new one they put in is alot longer and the bottom portion is not glued in it toggles in my leg and hits my front bone and the bottom of my foot feels at times like I have blisters but I do not and it feels like needles going through. I have tightness in the knee and I still can not ride a bike.
I am sorry if you are having issues.
