I received a total knee replacement Zimmer NexGen in August of 2007 I am in constant pain and my knee is always swollen and inflamed. I live on Advil and Ice packs. The pain is all around the knee cap and stabbing pain that shoots down my shin. I cannot walk for more than a mile without pain.

Defendant: Zimmer NexGen (defective knee replacements)

I am only 50 years old and I am limited to what I am able to do. I cannot squat or kneel down which causes my back pain to be constant. I have had numerous x-rays, bone scans and am told that the device is fine. My doctors office wants me to come in again to have it looked at because I requested the name of the prosthetic they used. Whenever I go to the doctors office I am told there is nothing they can do that this happens sometimes and suggest physical therapy which only makes my pain worse. For over a year now I have had terrible hip pain as well.
