Should I Have A Second Surgery To Treat Pain In Knee?
Is there a healthcare advocate that could go to the doctor with me to ask questions about my complex medical problems? I have had a total knee replacement, infection with removal of same and redo of the total knee. I still am in pain and can hardly walk. I use a walker and can manage to get around with great difficulty. I am afraid I may wind up worse. My surgeon thinks I should have another surgery. I have the blood clot gene and diabetes. I will need an umbrella placed before I have the knee surgery to avoid blood clots. I am writing for friend who does not have a computer. She is a female 73 years old.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It depends on the cause of pain in the knee. If it is due to malalignment, fibrosis or a knee instability then a repeat surgery may be required to correct the deformity.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
