Re: knee revision after original TKR done in July 2...

[Guest guest]

Hi

What exactly is wrong with the knee replacement you had done in 2009? I'm

concerned for you and curious for myself as I too had a RTKR in 2009.

I have alot of swelling in knee and the range of motion is less than 100

degrees. The knee is very painful and very stiff. I have had alot of problems.

The knee is warmer to the touch. Could not find any infection. Dr admitted the

surgery did not go as well as it should have. I am going to get a 2nd opinion.

No that was not suggested. The orginial dr does not to the revision. But I don't

trust him. We had it out last when I asked him to look at my other knee and he

said no. Last Jan 2010 he demmed the TKR a success. He can take a long walk off

a short pier.

I think that's an excellent idea , as I don't think putting another

joint in, is going to help you.

Of course I am not a professional but I would have thought that putting

another in, is only going to make the stiffness and swelling worse not

better.

And therefore the likelihood of a better rage of movement is lessened, I

would be interested to know what others think on this issue.

Unless there is good reason to remove a joint, say for infection, its not

going to help you.

I'd be more inclined to find out why the joint you have isn't a success as

you don't want to go through it all over again and not get the benefit from

it... Have you had a manipulation under anaesthetic at all.?
