Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Worsening Left Lateral Leg Pain, Heaviness, And Tightness, With Stroke-like Ambulation After A Successful TKR Two Years Ago?
I had a tkr (left knee), without incident 2 years ago. I have had no problems to date with exercise and movement. At the end of last week, my left lateral leg pain became worse, and my leg felt heavy and I appeared to have stroke-like ambulation, in that, I appeared to be carrying my leg. Some pain upon adduction. No redness. Leg and foot feel tight.
