I had a wonderful doctor in Michigan where
my accident happened that replaced my
ACL's and since I have moved to Chicago,
IL. I have had two different orthaepedic
doctors, but they came along with my
choice of MD as a referral in my HMO plan,
so I have not had to make any real
choices. Now I know much of my recovery
will depend on decisions of the doctor I
choose. There is no doubt the
replacements are necessary, I just don't
know where to begin to make an educated
choice on who should perform the
surgeries. I understand this forum is all
personal opinions, but I would be open to
hear from anyone that might know resources
I can review for myself to help with my
choice or even personal experiences you
had with TKR in my area. I currently have
my surgery set for Jan with much to decide
in the meantime. Thanks for any
directions.

Knee Replacement Posted: 08-27-03 20:03pm
In 2001 I had knee relacement on left
knee, it came lose, (they say) and was
replaced again this march of 2003. My
problem is know the same as last time but
now they say it is not lose. I have
constant fever in the knee, constant
swelling that never seems to go down,
strong pinching on inside of knee,and pain
every time I get up from setting. Can
anybody tell me what is going on with my
knee? Thanks.
