Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, what you are going through is a known complication of any surgical procedure, and that is infection, you are left with two options now, Either wait for the infection to settle and get the replacement done again, or plan for an arthodesis of the knee, which means your restriction of movement will occur but you will be pain free. I know its hard to decide, but that is the way out of the present misery you are going through
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
