Over the course of the last 5 years I have both knees replaced, with the right knee replaced twice. My left knee is doing fine, but the left is a different story. Before the right knee was replaced I had 2 " scopes " to try to get rid of the problem. I have degenerative arrthritis. Approx. One week after the first on my right leg, I had a fall, and the efforts to save the replacements were to no avail. It was replaced again one year later. Six months after the second replacement, I had to have scar tissue removed. Seven months later it had to be done again, but this time there was problems! One day after the second " cleanout " I developed a infection that put me on my butt for a couple weeks. The infection is supponisouly gone, but I am just now starting to walk with just a cane. I had to use a walker since july 19th. I have also had a good deal of muscle deteriation in the right leg due to non use. I am doiny my therapy every day and just now starting to come around. The aftermath of the infection put me in more pain than the replacements. I was wondering in anyone else was, or is in this same situation. I would appreciate any comments, help, or ideas.

Sincerely;
