Constant Pain Ever Since Total Knee Replacement. Any Suggestions ?
I had a total knee replacement done on May 2011 and I have had pain ever since in it. So a new Dr a year ago- advised me to wait till I was 18 months out.- at that time the lower compartment was turned slightly in. Xrays were done the beginning of 2013- - the alignment was okay. In Feb of this year- had a Arthroscopy done and they were amazed how much scar tissue was removed from my knee. I'm still having pain- so I had blood work done to test for allergy to the implant or the cement-- negative except for some allergy to nickel. The last suggestion was to get a 2nd opinion from U of M Hospital or Cleveland Clinic. Any suggestions/opinions- it's flustrating and depressioning.

Hi, depending upon the damage to the knee joint, the doctors have removed the scar tissue.
I to my patient with such a condition prefer to prescribe neurotropic injections for 5 consecutive days. ofloxacin, diclophenic and paracitamol, and pragabolin with methylcobalamin.
