Looking for a miracle: 3rd total knee after breaking my leg

Posted by subseti1 @subseti1, 1 day ago

I am looking for a healer who might perform a miracle. I broke my leg in 2021 at the original (and wonderful!) total knee replacement. It was awful, during the pandemic. My time in the hospital and rehab were out of a nightmare. I ended up with more broken bones than originally thought, and some tissue replacements that went necrotic. I went through two complete rounds of physical therapy and graduated from each, only to have to have more surgeries to correct the things I mentioned. Then the infection set in. I ended up with a spacer and then this gigantic heavy thing that extends from my ankle to my hip and has taken all my bone away from my knee joint. I have been through two rounds of physical therapy, one "regular" and one water therapy. Both have said I just have to keep exercising in order to maintain the movement I have. I won't walk without a walker again. I begged for a test because I had so much pain in my thigh and a tibia bone scan revealed the rod was loose. I have very little movement or feeling below the knee, but I did regain movement at the ankle during the last round of therapy. Any suggestions on where to go for a miracle?

OMG. I don’t have any suggestions but would just like to convey my
sympathy for your situation. I am so sorry you have been enduring all this.
I do hope someone on here may have some relevant and useful suggestions.
Don’t give up.
