Intense knee pain and support seeking

Edit Post

There is a patient who suffers from intense knee pain after nail exchange. Can you think of any possible cause, taking into account that this patient didn't experience that pain in similar circumstances before? Also, what would you recommend for those moments when a given patient is in intense pain, drugs don't do their work and there is nobody to rely on? I would recommend seeking support from fellow LLers in this forum, but the toxic vibes from some users here prevent me from doing so. Do you think the advantages of sharing your experiences here outweigh the possible disadvantages, including lack of privacy?

Medical professionals' opinion comes first, of course, but I'm trying to get information from veterans. You're right that veterans can provide   first-hand information no one else has, including doctors. If anybody knows anything about intense knee pain, please share. The patient will check the forum for replies. You can also PM me.

Femoral retrograde approach. The lengthening nail was exchanged for a trauma nail.

The doctor is quite experienced, but he hadn't found a similar case until now. Other patients who are in touch with many veterans reported that they aren't familiar with that kind of pain either. We wanted to know if someone here had experienced that type of pain and if it finally subsided and how, as the patient suffering from this is quite stressed. It would be a relief for them.
