Guest guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hi Barb I had one knee replacement done 2 years ago and the other one done 1 year ago. I still get pain and swelling in mine too. I think it could be down to where they cut thru the nerves. Love Joyce Barb <roboma@...> wrote: I have a question for anyone that had a knee replacement about 5 years ago. Has anyone had pain and swelling in the area where the knee replacement is? My Drs. appointment isn't until the 23 of November but I would like some input from anyone that might have had the same problem. I just don't want to hear that I need another replacement because this one is causing problems. I have always gotten good replies when I have written because this group cares about each other. Thank You so much for caring. Barb == roboma2@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Yes Barb, I just went through this with my right knee that was replaced 6 years ago. The only problem was the muscles that had become knotted and caused so much pain I could not walk. The doc did an MRI just to make sure the replacement was still in place and everything was fine. A massage therapist fixed my knee in 2 treatments but cautioned me to exercise to strengthen all the muscles. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Barb, My knee replacements are 9 years old and I've had bouts of pain and inflammation. What kind of pain is it? I get stiffness often, but get relief with exercise. It's nice to know that the inflammation can't erode these joints. Those nasty beasties can't chew threw titanium! I hope your knee is ok. a On Oct 27, 2005, at 11:21 AM, Barb wrote: > I have a question for anyone that had a knee replacement about 5 years > ago.
