Thanks, Marlene. I've always suspected this, as part of the patient's reaction to a foreign body....We've had some posters here with knee replacements too, who have had PN afterwards which did not respond well to conventional treatments.

I wish the article would detail exactly which type of immunotherapy would be advised. IVIG? or methotrexate, etc?
Or Enbrel or Humira?
