    Reverse Shoulder Replacement What a Mess!!

    My arm/shoulder hasn't gotten any better! The nerve pain is awful and I can't move my arm. It's like I've had a stroke. It's been 3 months ago since surgery and I've convinced the surgeon to get an EMG. I'm having that done on Friday and the surgeon is supposed to give me the results on the...

    Reverse Shoulder Replacement What a Mess!!

    I went to the OS on Friday and he told me he had such difficulty getting the stem out of my humerus that he had to break my arm in 3 places. This will make it a much longer recovery. He put me back in the sling, told me I could only do passive ROM, and because I am in so much pain he refilled my...

    Reverse Shoulder Replacement What a Mess!!

    I had to have my left shoulder revised from a standard replacement to a reverse shoulder replacement on 11/9/22. Things went from bad to worse during surgery when my surgeon couldn't get the stem out of my arm. He had to break my arm in 3 places to get the stem out. Put new stem in and repaired...

    Revision TKR Hinged knee

    My OS will be talking about my future plan on my next appointment 1/11/2022. My knee is so lax that I am not able to walk correctly and even a hinged brace doesn't make it stable enough. And after I wear the brace awhile, my knee hurts and I have to take it off. Just want to make the right decision.

    Revision TKR Hinged knee

    I didn't want a hinged knee until I had my 3rd revision to my right knee. But it's my left knee that really needs the hinged knee REALLY bad. I've read though that infections are really common with a hinged knee. Do you k ow if that's true? I don't know if I would get both knees hinged or...

    TKR Polyethylene Disease

    I had a partial knee orginally that the components became loose and I had to have it replaced by a TKR. Then the knee became lax due to loose ligaments and I have had the spacer replaced 3 times because of the loose ligaments causing me pain and falling quite a bit.

    TKR Three weeks post op, so glad I found this forum

    My components are all secure and to remove them would be a major ordeal if they are not loose. Surgeries were done at an Orthopedic hospital in Mission, Kansas. They get you up as soon as spinal wears off using a walker. You do your knee exercises every day and work on flexion and extension. It...

    Revised PKR to TKR Anyone have complications with block after knee surgery for pain???

    I had my second revision on my right knee and got foot drop right after surgery. Now I have severe nerve damage where my foot hurts 24/7 unless I have a Lidocaine patch on it. My foot dr. has given up on me cause all tests are negative. I now don't know where to go for help? Even P.T. didn't...

    Standard Shoulder Replacement NamVet's Update

    Best of luck! I've been recovering from a knee replacement surgery 3 months after I had my Shoulder Replacement. Doing pretty good, but this is a tougher recovery than the shoulder. Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe!

    Revised PKR to TKR Anyone have complications with block after knee surgery for pain???

    I'm going to call my OS and see what he has to say. I'm thinking I need a pain specialist to see me? I think he will refill my oxycodone for me.

    Revised PKR to TKR Anyone have complications with block after knee surgery for pain???

    I had the nerve block when I was in the Recovery Room. I can't take Tramadol or Tylenol. Tramadol doesn't do anything for my pain and Tylenol raises my liver enzymes. I was given Oxycodone 5mg and that works and the Gabapentin works fairly well, so this nerve pain I'm having is so severe that...

    Revised PKR to TKR Anyone have complications with block after knee surgery for pain???

    I had a block for post op knee pain after my knee revision. I have had problems with it and wish I hadn't done it. My foot, ankle, and parts of my calf are numb with painful sensations in them. I called my surgeon and we increased my dose of Gabapentin this weekend, but it's not helping. I'm...
