@patriciad the leg itself is the same. That was some artifact of the photo. I only saw the X-Rays at the 10-day point. I am going to ask to see them this coming appointment. My healing progress was excellent and I accepted the swelling explanation. I hit my 130 ROM around 6 weeks I have been going up and down stairs like a normal person and even riding my road bike some. The whole time PT kept saying "I would rather combat swelling than a poor ROM." I have even played a round of golf. So, I thought I was "golden".
Then, the last two weeks I have been having pain behind the knee on the outside of the knee. I started digging and discovered one cause is tendon irritation due to big implants. That led me to my "swelling" which may not have been "swelling" all along. It may have been an enlarged knee due to big parts.
My theory is that during the first weeks of rehab my activity level was low and it didn't irritate my tendon enough to cause a problem. Now that I have began acting more normally with activity it is irritating it.
I pray my Doc didn't make a big blunder. I don't know even where to begin to figure out what to do next.
