The coolness may be due to anemia. With bilateral knees, your complication risk is tripled. So it is important that your surgeon and internist see you to rule out anything worrisome. Best case scenario is it will be very dificult to have bilateral knees done so the rehab will be intense.View Thread

You definately need to be seen by a second joint replacement surgeon. This course does not sound normal.View Thread

Get an extra opinion from a knee surgeon. An MRI or ultrasound may help diagnosis your issue. If it is not torn, then continue to work on your quads strengthening.View Thread

An allergy to bone cement is extremely rare. I have never seen a case like this myself. Being uncommon, it is not a routine to screen for cement or even metal allergies.View Thread

This sounds like an infection. Please seek a second opinion if you are worries or let your primary surgeon know.View Thread

Not many arthritic knees have degenerative tears. This is very common as long as you are not locking or giving away. Continue on and trust your surgeon.

Hello,
The surgery will not alter your diabetes. Your sugar may be off due to surgery and inactivity but that should change soon once you recover.

A revision surgery is much more difficult so rehab will take a lot longer. So, in essence, trust your surgeon.

You should be able to. The knee is very durable so do not worry too much.

I do not know the standards of assessment with oil and gas industries. What I do recommend is to get a functional capacity evaluation (FCE). This FCE is a detailed test to see what your friend can do safely for 4 hours of work. We are all created differently so the hip shouldn't be the sole parameter of assessment.
