Thank you for checking on my progress. I had 6 weeks of IV antibiotics and am taking 2 kinds of oral antibiotics. I had a great check up with surgeon 12-20. He is wanting me to use spacer as long as possible..because of all the work he had to do. However, it has started to stick when I straighten it. And wobble/crunch when I walk. I'm just thankful to be getting around. Happy New Year

You certainly are gracious and upbeat in the midst of your struggles. It is admirable!
It's been four months, since surgery, to date. I wish you only the best on the journey and hope you'll continue to share progress with us. We care. :friends:

So sorry to hear about this nightmare. You are an inspirational poster child for others my new (revision) knee on Monday. I hope it works out the first time.

I was wondering if it’s normal to have pain on my lower leg due to the cement spacers. After all the soft tissue healed, following the removal, contracted. The knee looks very good, but after the healing, lots of rubbing with the spacers. I presume the lower leg pain is a result of all that it will be corrected by the knee implantation
