Nail Platella Syndrome, Right Knee Replacement Surgery, Now Left Knee Hurting Badly. What To Do?

I have nail patella syndrome; my right knee was replaced 12 years ago but the surgeon had never seen a knee like this. He told me he pulled the tendons over to track down the middle and it did not work. however, I felt he did what he felt would help. Now my left knee is hurting badly. I would like to find a surgeon in Michigan familiar with this condition,
