Knee Infection* Total Knee Revision due to infection

[Jamie]

@Annie3791 ... how exciting to hear that things are finally going well for you and your troublesome knee. HSS does a lot of great work and I'm thrilled you decided to go there. Who is the surgeon there you've been working with?

So happy to read this update, @Annie3791! I'm also a fan of HSS, having had both my hip and knee replacements with them.

Please keep us posted on your progress!

Hi my doctor at Hospital for Special Surgery is Mathias Bostrom, a wonderful doctor for complicated knee and hip replacements

Hi Everyone I am 4 weeks out from my reimplantation right knee surgery. I am feeling very tired and want to lay down all the time. I do my ROM exercises, but am tired. After several surgeries over the past 2 years, this is probably normal, but in the back of my mind I worry that the infection has returned.
I see the surgeon in two weeks I hope this fatigue will lift.

Hello @Annie3791
You'll notice that I have merged your two threads together as it's best if members in recovery only have one thread. We find it much easier for everyone.
This is because:

• That way, you have all your information in one place. This makes it easier for others to go back and review your history before providing advice.
• If you start new threads, you miss the posts and advice others have left for you in the old threads, and some information may be unnecessarily repeated
• Having only one thread will act as a diary of your progress that you can look back on.

Please keep all your questions and updates on this thread. We won't miss your new question as, between us, the staff read all new posts each day.
If you need an urgent response to a question, tag a member of staff.
