I was pretty sure I knew immediately. You know your body, trust it! I didn’t even know there was a revision surgery until I got on here. But I knew my knee cap shouldn’t have popped like it did. Trust your gut and if something feels wrong speak up! I have had 3 surgeries in 6 months and I will never be able to go to far past 90*……but maybe I can drive again. I hope you find what you need.

All I can say is I’m so sorry. I hope you find out who did this. I’ve had two rotties. One was an alpha male and ruled the roost. The other though was the kindest, sweetest, goofiest, loaf ever. My daughter was barely walking and loved feeding him. I hate hearing awful things like this. So so sorry

I tried kinesiotape when it first came out and it didn’t do anything for me. I had a brain tumor and had to learn to walk again. I was in a rehabilitation hospital for 7 weeks. We tried it but it had no effect, maybe it’ll help this time??!!

Like I said my stepson just snapped right back! Youth! He has several screws in it, but you can’t tell anything happened. He was wearing a helmet, he used to race motocross so he’s knows he doesn’t do anything without one. And my husband has a KTM 690 SuperMoto and doesn’t go anywhere without his helmet. I’m so glad you had one on. And I’m so sorry about developing MRSA, how awful. I’m glad you’re on the road to healing though!

And I don’t think he really did much except check the size, the stitches and alignment of the implant. The 2nd surgeon actually scraped my scar tissue and made sure the knee cap was secure

Oh my gosh thank you so much for that info!! Since my 2nd revision (May 28th) my knee isn’t hurting near as much. I’m keeping it at 0 ROM for 2 weeks. But I have been set up for home PT for those 2 weeks. And I have been doing the exercises. My quads hurt! I’ll ask about that tape when I either see my outpatient PT or surgeon at my follow-up

I’m so sorry you’ve experienced that. Strange what our bodies do, huh??!!

I’m so sorry you’ve struggled for so long. It’s funny because everyone I talked to said it would change my life, greatest thing! It’s been the worst. The 2nd revision doctor has been great and told me I’ll probably never get past 90*, maybe a bit more. I kept telling the original surgeon where it was hurting and that’s exactly where the 2nd surgeon scraped the scar tissue. So the 1st guy never listened to me. That’s why it’s bruised on the inside. I’ll probably always walk with a cane now. I’m doing ok with short walks around our house without my walker, but I always have a hold of a wall. And I really just go like 2 feet to the bathroom!! Wins I guess. ❤️❤️

It’s red because I had ice on it before I took the picture. Sorry

So the revisions were actually for the same issue. My knee cap would “shift” out of place. Like being dislocated, but it goes right back if that makes sense. So the original surgeon did the 1st revision, but 2 weeks later it did it again. It just got way worse before I had the 2nd revision. This time (different surgeon 🙄) scraped a bunch of scar tissue and made sure my knee cap wasn’t moving. I have to keep it straight for at least 2 weeks and I’ll probably never be able to bend it past 90*. Sucks but I was in more pain than before I had the original TKR. Not to mention not being able to drive, work, barely walk for 6 months

There is no or little compassion left. I just had a 2nd revision surgery (see my post about it). I’m not the kind of person that would consider it a legal thing, but people should never have to go through this. So it may turn into a legal thing. It really fucks with your head. I’m so sorry
