Had arthritis and saw an orthopedic surgeon.He implanted an attune l knee prothesis.From day 1 i had problems.Severe pain; swelling and even the physical therapist relayed symptoms unusual.I finally had ct done and it showed debonding of prothesis and the original surgeon relayed he does not do revisions i finally found an excellent ortho doctor w/ (b)(6), and he saw results of ct and he replaced the attune device w/ a stryker device.But in interim of follow up from 1st surgery implant of attune device, i had additional surgery for left knee neuroma; then still had issues and swelling.Recently i had the peroneal nerve left knee decompressed by same surgeon who did the revision: dr.(b)(6).The original surgeon and his colleague he sent me to treat me as a hysterical female.Ps i am an rn in my 60's so i know my body very well, and i knew the severe pain i was feeling was not normal.Even dr (b)(6), the original surgeon, his own therapist had admitted to met the pain and symptoms i was having were very abnormal.
