Revision TKR Loosening, RA ?Second Revision
Hi Everyone, I’ve seen Orthos and the verdict is.... 'There is nothing to be done surgically which could have any guarantee of improving knee. Post in tibia is stable.' Due to my RA it is likely to be that making pain worse. Advice is I have to learn not to over do it! Referring to physio (and...- Shortie

Revision TKR Loosening, RA ?Second Revision
Thank you - I can’t decide if i am relived X-rays show losening as the symptoms suggest it or if I am a bit devastated that after TKR in 2013 and revision in 2014. But I will carry on regardless - like I say with my RA I prefer to LIVE with it than suffer with it. Thanks again @Josephine...- Shortie

Revision TKR Loosening, RA ?Second Revision
@Cementless yes I am cemented! I have no idea what the OS will say at the appointment, I will be interested in his approach / plan and questions.

Revision TKR Loosening, RA ?Second Revision
I have just realised I haven’t updated - so I was going to be seeing a surgeon who had never done a revision! So after a few phone calls and a sensible but frustrating wait I am now seeing a surgeon very experienced in revisions on 7th September. Because of my RA treatment of Rituxumab...- Shortie

Revision TKR Loosening, RA ?Second Revision
So a new chapter! RA continues to be troublesome - Ritixumab has worked a bit but still needing steroids - all joints are painful wrist splints at night, lots of meds.... never ending RA stuff. But the double whammy (or it maybe the triple) my revision has loosening on the tibial plate...- Shortie
