Patellar tendon Knee Surgery

[schafferr]

I had knee surgery 4 weeks ago and am in extreme pain. I am a vet and had the surgery at the VA hospital and they seem to think I am just trying to get "meds". I really want answers. I am supposed to start pt this week and I am weary because the pain leads me to believe that maybe I strained or reinjured the knee. The pain is in my knee and upper thigh. I am wondering if the upper thigh pain (which feels like someone is squeezing tightly) is "normal"?

Dear Sir,

Do you have no access or means of contacting your consultant?

If they do not take the time to analyze their job and the result, I wonder what their confidence is in their own abilities.
