I had a pkr on my left knee in 1999 and 4 months later experienced massive amounts of pain deep within the knee joint, as this was all under insurance I had to wait while everybody talked it over.In early 2003 I was told that I would be having a tkr which would have me walking in no time at all,after surgery I was told the problem I had was due to hardware failure and so I only had a "revision".
After a few months and the pain was back and almost as severe as before. Towards the end of 2003 I faced more surgery and a full tkr done and was told there had been another hardware failure.
Now a year since surgery and I have had in the left leg/knee since then, numbness/pins and needles around 2 toes, severe pain in my calf,redness in the skin over my shin, severe swelling and heat above the knee and pain in and around the knee.
Has anyone experienced similair problems,i am more concerned now with the swelling and heat that is generated.
Any thoughts would be appreciated
