Please try to help. I had knee revision surgery and am limping quite a bit. From specialist to specialist I can find no reason, and to a number of specialists from knee to hip, to back etc, etc. to another MD.There seems to be no one with an answer. Thank you.

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that limping after knee surgery can be due to many causes. it is very difficult to comment about your causes without having your x rays.It will be best if you can send me your current x rays. I would suggest you following.
1.Please check if there is any difference in length of both legs. Some time there can be difference of one to two cm. It can be corrected by foot wear change.
2.Check if there is any pain in knee joint. It can be due to weak muscles. Physiotherapy can help in this condition.
3.Yoiu can used walking aid also.
i hope these steps will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
