If you have your x-rays/scans and medical history e-mail them to me and one of my surgeons will give you a second opinion for free. You could even speak to him without cost.

I had my left ankle replaced on March 10th of this year. I have had problems since then with excessive pain and swelling, had my foot debrided and another major surgery to remove my bone and scar tissue around the prosthetic piece.
My surgeon is concerned, and has no idea why I am experiencing the problems I am. He even told my on Monday of this week that "perhaps" he'll have to fuse my ankle now. I am so frustrated, angry and sad about all of this. I am only 53 years of age, had been quite active before this all started and do not want to be undergoing more surgeries. Help!
