I wanted to know why I have pain in shin
bone, especially where they connected the
device to the shin bone. Some times the
pain is really bad!
I also hurt around my knee cap. They left
my knee cap. Should they have cave a new
one?
I will also have to have my other knee
done. Right now there is a pocket of
water on my knee does it have to be seen
about?

I had my right knee replaced sept 25,2003.
Almost 10 weeks later I still have pain
on the inside of the knee, my knee "
clicks " whenever I move it and is
extremenly swollen on the outside of my
knee.
Complicating this I recevied a kidney
transplant in 11/99. Today I saw my
nephrologist for my 3 mo checkup. He said
my swelling is a little worse than normal
because of the transplant but to expect it
to improve in 6 mos to 1 year. Also,
once I started driving after 7 weeks I now
have some knee cap pain but was told that
will also go away in time.
My surgeon said recovery can be anywhere
from 3 to 6 months.
