Unicompartmental Knee Replacement Very Worried
Posted: 01-01-04 14:51pm

On 12/4 I had title procedure. About 12/26 a rash was noticed at the surgical site. After a few days it has spread up my inner thigh and a few spots on stomach and some on my other non-operated leg.

My major fear is I have metal allergy but surgeon and dermatologist suggest that is very low on the list. The knee looks great just a little rash below but gets nasty looking up my inner thigh.

I'm on allegra (from dermatologist) and have stopped all vitamins and was on vicodin and halted that as well.

Ideas? I would hate to have to remove the metal in my knee and does anyone know if there is a non-metal solution?
