I had the Oxford knee placed a year ago. At first all seemed to be on track. But after about 4 months things went downhill quickly. Increased swelling with periods of minimal swelling followed by a sudden onset of swelling to the point where I needed to use a crutch because of limited mobility from the swelling. I've seen 3 guys including the one who placed it. None of them have an answer. They are all dumbfounded and cannot pinpoint the cause of the swelling. The pain is minimal. I cannot even think of playing tennis, running, as was promised within four months of surgery. They've done an MRI, a dozen X-rays, and bone scan looking for infection as well as blood work....nothing. Has anyone out there had any symptoms even remotely similar to what I describe. I'm 48, active and not ready to call it quits yet.
The person who stated he ran a 5k 21 days after surgery I find very hard to believe. I'm in excellent condition and that was not even close to being an option. I wonder if it may be a planted post.
