Hi, sorry to know your restriction of movement after operation , and doctor not willing to get it operated again. Of course it is true that the reoperation in such a complicated joint will be inviting more complications.
It is advisible to have management of the pain. I to my patient with such condition prescribes, neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and antiinflamatories, for few days and to be continued when there is necesity.
Thanks for calling.
