are a huge problem~~just the bearing down
to walk up or down. Standing is
difficult causing me to lean on my so
called good leg. Much pain at the medial
side and accross the front and down ito

foot are a daily thing. Have been told
could be allergic reaction has anyone
dealt with any of these symptoms?????

Tkr Problems Posted: 04-23-04 02:54am
I am sitting here in misery. Had a tkr
on my left leg in 2002. I was 48 yrs
old. For at least the last year, i've
had a pain like shin splints from the
implant down about 7 inches. My surgeon
told me it was bursitis. I have a depuy
implant. There's alot online about a
class action suit against this
manufacturer. Please write so we can
compare notes. Thanks!

hi ~~
i am always intersested to chat with
someone else who is experiencing problems
with thier tkr. Actually, my pt told me
to go onlline and find others who are
going thrjough " similar situations" and
then maybe I would see that it can and
does happen. Do you have pain daily?
Does this pain you feel into your shin
that you describe as shin splints increase
when walking stairs or just walking???? I
have that same feeling it is so
interesting that you talk of shin splints.
I have said it feels like my bone has
many hair line cracks directly down from
the implant. Stairs really hurt and I
get much pain radiating down into my leg
and ankle/foot. Mine also is my left
knee. I do have swelling and my knee is
warm to touch. The surgeon said the same
thing to me about the bursitis in the knee
and ankle /foot. Not sure what all the
shin pain is from. I am not familalr
with the depuy implant. What is it?????
Tell me about your recovery and pt.
Have you ever been with out pain since the
surgery.?? What month in 2002. ??
Hope I am not overwhelming you with all my
?????"s but hearing some similar comments
is very interesting. I guess I thought I
would have this surgery and boom do my pt
and away I would go. And wow this has
been really bad.
May I ask are you a male or female?
I am a 53 yr old female and had mine done
just a year ago.
Please keep in contact.

One more thing. The swelling. I had it
for at least a year following surgery.
The drs say it the "healing" producing the
heat. It stll gets warm every once in
awhile. If you are still experiencing
it, I think it's pretty normal.

Radiating Knee Pain Only When Knees Are Bent Posted: 12-08-07 10:46am
I need help! I am 32 years old and about 1
month ago I started to feel my knees
"burning" me whenever I drove. The
radiating pain would stop if I was
standing or walking, and it only happened
after about 1/2 of driving or sitting. But
now as soon as I sit, on a chair, in my
car my knees start to burn and the burning
sensation travels down my shins. It feels
like a hot liquid is being injected into
my veins from the knee downward. It is
quite uncomfortable and I have to shift my
position frequently to make the burning go
away. Does anyone have an idea what is
going on with me? I am a person that is on
her feet most of the time since I am a
mother to 3 young children and don't have
much time to sit. I really hope that it is
something temporary and not the start of
some dreadful disease. Please respond.
Thank you.
