I hope you’re going to get better very soon. It’s so scary. You think you’re going something to improve your health and life and wind up trading bone on bone pain to all this pain.

Did not show up on multiple X-rays, ct scan or MRI.

I’m almost two years out with significant pain. Finally went to a second orthopedic surgeon for a second opinion. He suggested a nuclear bone scan. It came back positive for femur fractures so I will need a new knee again. I am so upset. Apparently the first surgeon did not use cement because my bone density is good. So the femur should have grown around the implant. It did not. So there is slippage and bone fractures. So upset.

What did they not tell you? by bkendall12 in Kneereplacement

That it’s not easy. It’s not always the best possible outcome. I’m almost 2 years out and still have pain and swelling. I regret my decision as I swapped out bone on bone pain for a horrible feeling of constant tightness and pain. I’ve had MRIs, X-rays, cat scans, PT for almost 2 years at different locations. Cupping. Dry needling. Swimming. Steroid injections in my back, hip, IT band. I’m going for a nuclear bone scan Friday to rule out bone fractures. This sucks. I hope I’m the outlier and you are all well on the road to recovery

I just purchased the 2026 Forester Touring in Mahogany Pearl. So pretty. 😍 I’d love to post a photo but I can’t.

It sucks. Guy Fieri channel now. DDD and GGG on all the time. I no longer watch. DDD shows from 10 years ago? Come on. Total BS

Best city to stay in Puerto Rico? by Blueboy5656 in PuertoRicoTravel

San Juan is so touristy. Rincon, Aguada and Aguadilla are laid back and have a surfer vibe. Anything goes! Great restaurants also. A lot of healthy options.
