HELLO, THIS IS GREG. ITS GOOD TO READ THAT YOUR FLEXION IS 130 AND EXTENSION AT NEG 1. SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE OTHER SYMPTOMS. IM GOING TO GIVE YOU ALITTLE INFO ON MY SURGERIES, YES THAT IS PLURAL. I WENT DOWN FOR KNEE REPLACEMENT IN FEB OF 2021, I HAD GOOD FLEX AND EXTENSIONS BUT PAIN AN INFLAMATION WERE STILL THERE. IT TOOK ALMOST EIGHTEEN MONTHS AND SEVERAL REFERALS UNTIL I GOT ANOTHER SURGERY OR REVISION. BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM IMPLANTS DAMN NEAR FELL OUT WHEN THE KNEE WAS OPENED UP. MY NEW SURGON WASNT MILITARY, NO OFFENSE. MY NEW IMPLANTS WERE DRILLED 3 INCHES INTO THE BONE AND I WAS TOLD THEY WOULDNT GO BAD. ALMOST 6 MONTHS LATER THEY TO WERE STILL SWOLLEN AND HURT. DOCTOR WHEN IN AGAIN AND FOUND THE BOTTOM LOOSE AND CHANGED IT OUT. 6 MONTHS LATER IM STILL SWOLLEN AND IT HURTS MORE. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT AND WENT ON MANY WEBSITES, UNTIL THIS ONE GAVE ME THE ANSWER. MOST IMPLANTS ARE MADE OF PRECIOUS METALS, TITANIUM, CHROMIUM, NICKLE, ETC..
APPARRENTLY I AM ALERGIC TO NICKLE AND MOST IMPLANTS AND IMPLANT CEMENT HAS NICKLE IN IT. I ASKED MY DOCTOR IF I COULD BE ALERGIC AFTER THE 2ND SURGERY AND HE SAID IT WAS VERY RARE, AND A METAL PATCH TEST IS NOT THAT RELIABLE, I HAD IT DONE. THERE IS A PLACE OUT OF CHICAGO AND DOES THE BLOOD WORK TEST, YOUR DOCTOR SHOULD KNOW, PHONE NUMBER IS 312-733-7121. THEY ARE ORTHOPEDIC ANALYSIS. PLEASE IF THIS STILL PERSIST HAVE THAT TEST DONE, DONT GO THROUGH SEVERAL SURGERIES LIKE ME. IM SCHEDULED FOR MY 5TH SURGERY ON THE SAME KNEE IN 4 DAYS. THEY CAN INSTALL A CERAMIC COATED KNEE IMPLANT. THEY COST ALOT MORE, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS SEVERAL SURGERIES COST. I WISH YOU THE BEST AND HOPE THIS HELPS YOU AND ANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME CONDITION.
