Can Oversized Implant Cause Severe Pain After Knee Replacement?

I had knee replacement in May 2013 and had so much trouble. Then after being in ER found out the dr may have made a mistake and went for 2nd opinion and found out the 1st doctor oversized the implant in the right knee. Now that doctor dismissed me via a letter. Is there a way I can find out if the 2nd dr made a mistake. Am still having a lot of pain.

Hi you had a knee replacement in 2013 and are having severe pain in the knee joint. In Your 2nd opinion , you were told that over sized implant was used .In my opinion , oversize implant generally is not the cause of severe knee pain. There might be some other cause of pain like referred pain from hip or spine , local pathology like minor fracture , or malalignment or some other pathology. I would suggest visiting the operating surgeon again .
