I am having a lot of pain I can t walk for another 6 weeks. I was looking to get a lymphedema pump to help pain, swelling and circulation.....help please Doctor: Hello, I have studied your case history.You will need X ray of bone where implant is placed.There is possibility of impingement of implant along soft tissue.As bone union is complete and implant is producing pain you can remove implant consulting your doctorClinical examination is important to know site of pain.You can also send x ray photo on my profile.So implant removal is best solution for pain if loosened or infected.Lymphedema pump may not help for pain reduction.Hope this answers your query.
