OS says its Bone Pain

Hi everyone, At 6 months after my partial, if I work or play a little to hard
I have the knee darn mad over the implant site, more to the bottom plate as far as I can tell. Not swelling but nagging pain and stiffness, this last time is taking longer to come out of it. Had x-rays with OS says the implant is fine.

He says its bone pain and it may take a year to clear up, He says to back
off the work and golf and lose 20 pounds. This is hard to do after 6 months
when at first he said 6 weeks I would be golfing. Anyone heard of this bone pain, getting to sound like a put off to me anymore.

Thanks for listening, Pepper.....

Thanks for the reply Jamie, OS said the left compartment looked great,

mentioned the knee cap. I have photo copy's of the ex-rays would that work

on the computer. How do you transfer them? PEPPER.....

6 weeks before golfing again seems a bit ridiculous, so I wouldn't feel as though you are progressing badly

I thought your post was a bit ironic since I just had the opposite thing happen. When you've had a knee replacement you always think "it's the prosthesis" when in reality you have a lot of "original equipment" in there which can hurt. Last week I walked down a mountain (4 miles long and down 2500 vertical feet) about 2 days later the inside of my knee was killing me. I couldn't figure out what I could have done since it was hurting in a place which I knew was just titanium and ceramic - I did a couple of days of RICE and talked to a physician friend and he suggested and irritated MCL. Two more days of rest and ice and all is fine.

Hey there Pepper, I have been having the same problem at 7 months post op. Most of my pain is caused by simply standing in one position ( such as waiting in line ) for too long. My OS told me that the pain is bone pain and will most probably take a complete year to resolve itself and I do believe him.

Sitting too long causes stiffness and pain and standing too long causes pain and swelling, I guess I need to grow wings and learn to hover....LOL

Hang in there Sweetie!

I will give that a try Jamie thanks. And the wings would be great,thanks for your thoughts..... Pepper

Attention Jamie

Hi Jamie,

Jamie,

Here is the second scan. Thanks again, Don

I guess you will just have to keep moving! :p

Hi, Joe Thanks for your time, I brought the same thing up to him, he had some story to back up that its hitting dead center, and that it just appears like
this at that angle. This man has done over 1200 of these thats why I went to him. Even his web site has other photos of peoples ex-rays that look like this.
I will get new opinion, and let you know how it turns out. Would you like to look at his web site or would that be asking for legal trouble. Thanks again.

Pepper

Jo, heres the link www.midwesthipandknee.com

avoid total knee replacement, is the ad. Pepper

Hit Dr. Kelly's site and

scroll down to-view info on Dr. Kelly's Knee Surgery, then scroll down to photo gallery.

Hi, Jo. Is my best option to go somewhere else. I have talked with this man
at least 4 times in office, and 3 phone calls which he will take all the time you need, and says the same thing give it time. Some people need a year for every thing to settle down. It sure has been a challenge.



Thanks, Jo your a busy lady!
