I had a total knee replacement 14 months after bac meningitis and it was the most pain ive ever. Besides right when I had gotten bac meningitis. I got a blood clot and a hemotoma behind my knee and on my calf. I got a blood blister. And infection. So I'm in the hospital and they took out the total knee and put a antibiotic block in.I was infected for a while. I called and told his assistant. That I was running fever and sweating my ace off. Dizzy.I was disoreanted. And the pain was out So extremely.Nauesed. I cried many days and nights. Had nothing for pain and he wanted me to do the exercises. Told me to cry if you have to and do the exercises. Come to find out there is a recall on this.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. They should be believing you now! I don't know enough to know how much the meningitis had to do with this. No one seems know enough about it. You should have an Infectious disease MD following you now who could answer more questions.
