Knee & Hip Replacement Community

After going through TKR 06/01/2009 in left knee, I have never had a day without pain. Recently diagnosed with RA, 09/2011, along with Osteoarthritis. Rheumatologist states she felt I have a sensitivity to the metal in the knee replacement. My appointment with Orthopedic Surgeon last week and him absolutely cutting loose on me for refusing treatment for the RA. I am so much medication for the pain from the replacement, do not want to add another medication to my list. But he told me to see a psychiatrist and to prepare myself to have revision within three to six months. He NOW feels I am allergic to the nickel in the replacement. This doctor will never touch me again but how do I find a physician I can trust? Since my original surgery this doctor has treated me like dirt, spoken to me like I was crazy, accused me of not doing enough, bullied me by saying he knows I just want to wither away but I couldn't do that because it would be too painful, did not want to give pain medications and saying I didn't look like a "druggie". How do I quit crying? I feel like this is the end of the world for me. Since I have had this surgery I have developed plantar fasciitis in my right foot, I feel for the way I have had to walk with this pain in my left knee. At the time of surgery I also needed my right knee replaced. Thank God I didn't have both knees done. Can't get an appointment with an Allergist until April to be tested for nickel allergy and this waiting is, quite literally, killing me. Are there doctors out there that actually care what the patient goes through? Could someone help me, PLEASE? If nickel allergy is a possibility, why don't doctors perform the testing before such major surgery? Could the sensitivity to the metal contributed to the RA diagnosis, since I tested negative before surgery? This feels like a never ending nightmare. God Bless.
