I’m going to be a bit blunt here, so please try and forgive my rather direct comments on the situation you are finding yourself in at the moment. If you’ll read back through your entire thread, I would hope you could see how poorly this surgeon has treated you. I cannot say if he is inept, disinterested in your case, or what exactly. But it has been obvious to many members and staff here that he was not providing good treatment for you. We strongly recommended you seek additional opinions elsewhere and even had our staff member, @Jaycey, agree to assist you in finding a good revision surgeon for you. We honestly care about you and have been quite distressed about your poorly functioning knee. But, since you were firm that you didn’t want to see a different surgeon, we backed off and hoped for the best.
I think your surgeon revealed his true colors in this last visit. His comments indicate an extraordinarily large ego and a lack of compassion for your continuing pain and suffering. I also believe he knows something is wrong with the knee and just doesn’t care to deal with it. The absolute worst thing you could ever do it to return to this doctor.
I can only see two options for you. Either live with things the way they are or agree to let us help you get to a different surgeon for a consultation. You will need to drive a ways, but I think Jaycey could be of help to you in working out the logistics of getting wherever a good surgeon is located. She lives in the UK and has knowledge of many of the doctors there. I hope you agree to this option and let us help you.
