i think you're wise to get a second opinion. whether or not the x-rays look "fine " the truth is you're symptomatic. you deserve to learn why you're having problems. the main reason i wanted to respond though is to suggest you take your temperature. if you have a fever i'd suggest you make an appointment with your primary care provider for some blood work. a fever can be a sign of infection and infection of a prosthetic knee is always a possibility. if you do have an infection you'd want to get that treated as soon as possible. while you're waiting for your appointment with the second doctor i'd suggest you use an assistive device to help stabilize your balance so you don't fall. either a 4-point cane or a walker would be ideal. the last thing you want is to sustain an injury before you get your knee problem figured out. wishing you all the best and hoping you feel better soon!
