I am 48 yers old nurse. 6-7 years ago I had a meniscus injury and meniscectomy on my left knee. Then my knee ruined within the next 6 yers and I had a total knee replacement last November (2019). The operation and the recovery went very well and I did not have any problems. Started working on reduced hours 4 months after the operation. But a week ago (mid November 2020) my knee started gradually becoming stiff and locked. It is a bit swollen and I can’t bend it like I usually do. Went to E&A and they told me the knee is definitely not infected, not fractured and not dislocated. Fortunately I have my final appointment with the orthopaedic team in 10 days. I am really worried something has gone wrong with my artificial knee.
Has somebody else experienced such problems? What could it be and what to do while I am waiting to see a specialist?
