I have a messed up hip replacement revision with pain two years out. The surgeon keeps insisting that ‘everything looks ‘fine’. This post makes le encouraged to keep trying to find the SOURCE of my pain so it can finally be treated. It’s obviously not the replacement itself….
I had a successful total knee replacement this past October. I, too, was bone on bone, likely from decades of running. But the pain I had before the surgery is gone. I still have a slight amount of scar tissue on the outside of my knee which aches every now and then, but my doc and my PTs told me to expect that It will take up to a year for me to heal fully. I am very glad I had it done, delayed by a year because of the Covid “no elective surgeries edict.”
Well, that’s just wonderful. So there’s going to be a bunch of people who need heart catheterizations or cancer treatments who won’t be able to get them and their health will suffer more as a result. When I learned I couldn’t have my knee fixed because of that, I was angry. I wasn’t having some kind of superficial surgery done. I was in serious pain every time I took a step. I had to make do with a cortisone shot every couple months, but even they don’t work after a while. I hope people will push back against this, being that so many were hurt the first time.
And you were denied pain meds. I fought that battle with the Intractable Pain Patients. We proved Andrew Kolodney was a line his pockets liar, Redfield was getting revenge, for hi then 37 yr old Heroin addict's OD, laced with Fen. and a great job. Thousands are crossing our borders illegally, 160 countries, rapists, child traffickers, drug runners, terrorist. Biden gives then billions, in free aid, and DL's, green cards so they can vote. They work under the table. Take's an American's job. No chips from China, so the grid, electronics fail. I've been locked out of my bank account for days, their server went down.
My spine is a total mess, take 2 Tylenol, get steroid shots, I'm a Type 2 Diabetic, not allowed Steroids besides I react to them.

My Kaiser doc is Acevedo in Los Angeles. I have head great things about John Itamura in Glendale. "These are for informational purposes only, use this advice at your own risk and make your own judgment". sorry for the disclaimers
Hello Dr. Yoho. Very glad to have met you at the event. Meeting doctors like you gives me hope. I just finished the book "Inner Balance- The Power of Holistic Health" published in 1979. It contains essays from various leading medical providers at the time. They were all so hopeful that the medical community was on its way to treating patients in a holistic fashion - including attending to their spiritual needs. Obviously things went terribly astray. Do you think there is any link to the vax liability protection granted in 1986? Did the government unwittingly unleash a demon? Thank you again for being a physician committed to ethics.
Hub had both knees done as partials, did great, still doing great, recovery time 4 days, a you pull it out 2 day pain dispenser, great Ice Pack that is really reusable, at home rehab. Then Medicare steps in and insists on full knees. Why when they are more trouble for the patient, more limits on mobility, longer rehabs. Shoulders by the same ortho were different, Left was just cleaned out, a few years later the Right had the shoulder ball replaced and a clean out, full Rotator rehab. No change in the pain level. He sleeps poorly. OA drugs damage your Gastro Tract, and don't help much. Where is the Rotator cuff tear located, I've been told MRI's are required for them. My shoulder tear shows up on X-ray at the top of my shoulder. The Steroid shot was painful and worthless. Robert, we need you to explain why OA drugs damage the Gastro Tract. I know the damage Steroids' and Cortisones cause. Gastro said the 20mg Nexium that is OTC, is only 10 mg. It is now $30 for a box of 28 tabs/capsules. BTW, he has a bad Rotator tear, He treats with Stem Cells, which we know Medicare/Tricare Life will never approve for use. And does good, he does wear those Neuropathy TED type knee high socks as he's on his feet most of the day. Hub is trying them and likes them.

Thank you for your relevant irreverence.
there are people who deal solely with problems like these. Here is one who is a top authority on infections, but this may not be your problem. https://microgendx.com/very-useful-information-an-interview-with-javad-parvizi/
You might consider going to Mayo.
What is the ball of the replacement made of Chromium ones cause issues.

Strange you mentioned the necessary, not elective surgeries, hospitals are back to not doing them.
