Thanks all! I am headed for a MRI this weekend to see what exactly is going on as x-ray was inconclusive but they could see "something." Best case scenario is scar tissue broke off and is causing the issue and can be fixed so we can keep limping along.
I tried prolo therapy and synvisc (I think it's called?) injections as well as cortisone and all failed sadly. Which led to a tibial osteotomy to fix the bone on bone issue which led to CRPS...then the screws started coming out through the skin and surgery #4.
I am young...in my 30s still...but if it will solve my issues for 15-20 years I don't really mind doing it multiple times in my life. I know that sounds crazy but since the tibial osteotomy is worse recovery-wise and did not save the joint I think I can handle it. I was non-weight-bearing for 2 months and didn't drive for about 3 and live in an area where you can't go anywhere without driving. plus 6ish months of 3/wk PT. All with a 8 yr old at the time...
