Pain Management at 15 months for Total Knee Replacement.....thoughts?

Maybe it is time to get a second opinion. Has your doctor ever done an ultrasound to see if it could be a fabella bone? I had a baker's cyst and a rare fabella bone behind my knee that caused terrible pain after having a total knee replacement. It never hurt before the knee replacement. Once I had the fabella bone removed I no longer had the awful pain. I found this out after going to a completely different health care system in another state.
Maybe you should try to get a couple of other opinions before you give up.
Sorry you are suffering.

He has not done anything and I don't think plans to do anything. The cortisone shot did help with tells me there is a problem. I will ask about this as well. Was removing the bone very invasive as I do not want to go through what I did the the replacement. It's not an awful pain but it's enough to make things very uncomfortable. At least with this I can walk and do the things I want, prior to surgery there were times I had to get out the crutches it hurt so bad, I know that my Dr. said she would refer me to UNC which would be totally different that where I am going.
