    Revision TKR Bluebell53 - Total Left Knee Revision

    I just wanted to share something with you all that my surgeon had told me before surgery. Now granted this was a knee replacement revision as I’m a week out so I’m gonna listen to everything he tells me to do. He mentioned to me about acrylic nails and leaving them off for the time being. He...

    Revision TKR Bluebell53 - Total Left Knee Revision

    Todays the day! I have to be at the hospital at 1:00 for my 3:00 surgery. It’s been a miserable seven months but I’ve hung in there. Just praying that there’s no infection and he can just replace the implant. I’ll see you all on the other side.

    Revision TKR Bluebell53 - Revision

    Hi @Jockette, I had gone for a second opinion and the new Dr wanted to get a bone scan done first before he did the MUA. Low and behold, that’s where the results showed a loose knee and possible infection. They drained my knee last week to check for infection, but was unable to get any fluid...

However, after months of recovery with non stop pain and with decreasing range of motion, I sought out a second opinion. My new doctor sent me for a bone scan which showed possible infection and loosening...
