Revision TKR Severe shin pain after revision

[Kiwint]

Good morning Hoppy18,
I had lost your thread ( and mine) but have been not sleeping, trawling through the site and searched you to see how you a going with that bend since your MUA.
I hope the pain has settled down for you.
I don't have anything new or exciting to share about my ROM but I do feel better in myself and am able to do a bit more now. My friends reckon I'm walking better too although I still feel that it is stiff and slower than I would have liked at 9 weeks post op! I really don't know how much the MUA achieved!
Anyway, just checking in on your progress.
Happy easter

It is five years since I had a revision TKR and I am now experiencing pain round about my shin area. Can anyone advise what could be causing this please?

I developed severe shin pain and the cause turned out to be a lose tibial component, which was wiggling back and forth, hammering its way out through the side of my tibia.

I’m not saying this is your issue - it could be many things - but I recommend seeing someone and getting an x-ray to rule out a problem such as what I had.

I would try to find a revision specialist, depending on how long an intense pain is. I’m in Southern California and getting into any good doctor is taking months. I’d try to get an appointment now. Can always cancel…good luck!

It is best if you contact your OS and get it checked out. It's better knowing than wondering.
