I had a total elbow replacement 4 1/2 years ago. I lost some movement in pinkie and next two fingers. Difficult to wash left side(including face and hair) . The replacement has come loose and the lower part is dangerously close to breaking through the bone. Now need another surgery with possibility of loosing any movement. I would like to know if anyone else has had this happen to them.
Wow, hope all goes well, keep us informed. I broke my elbow and had a plate and screws put it, no real problem but even 3 years later it can be sore and swell up and need to be dranined. The Dr said it's probably a ganglion cyst, nothing serios, just have it drined if it gets too large.
