If you have to beg, borrow or steal the $$ do not get a replacement without it. Now, I have to find a doctor that specializes in revisions. Revisions are far more complicated than just a knee replacement. I just want to cry.......
What a shame that you had to endure the suffering and pain.
I am truly sorry, and I wish you best of luck with your revision.
