This week has been a steady stream of doctor visits and tests. I’m afraid it will be that way until we can get answers for the leg pain that makes my husband’s life unbearable. We are making small steps forward. Xrays are on the way to the Mayo Clinic. I am afraid that it is unlikely that we will hear there is a physical problem with the implanted knee replacement. If we find that is the problem it will be related to an allergic reaction and that will take longer to prove.
If it is not that we will continue on the search for answers to make his life bearable.
When I left my job as a Parish Nurse I thought about becoming a “patient advocate” as a free service for those who need help. Now I am using those skills for my own husband. We will prevail!

I am waiting (3 hrs now) to hear from my doc. Holiday weekend, and I’m left high and dry. Take care. Prayers continue!

Working with the system is so difficult today. Hope you finally hear from your doc.

My mother had horrendous pain that started a year or so after a hip replacement. It turned out she had twisted her hip and somehow broke off a screw and it was pushing against a nerve. It took years to find the problem and about half an hour to fix it.

I am glad your mother’s got fixed. It was so hard to find this problem and unfortunately will be a long time fixing.

Thank you. I am glad you have the Mayo Clinic to work with. We have a few good doctors but we do not have anything comparable to the Mayo Clinic!
