Question : MY QUESTION ; 4 MONTH AGO, I HAD A KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY AND UP TO TODAY AM HAVING SEVERE PAINS

Brief Answer:
see orthopedic doctor

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that you are still having severe pain in your knee after knee replacement. You should have improved by now. This may mean the hardware is not functioning properly or you have infection or rejection of the hardware. I would recommend that you see your orthopedic surgeon again and have them examine you. This should not be giving you this much pain 4 months after surgery

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
