Hi Theresa
I am so sorry to hear about your experience. Have you been able to find anyone to help you figure out what is wrong? I never thought about the implant slowing you down. It makes total sense! It is supposed to be lubricated by your own body, which is supposed rally around the site, create a new capsule with fluid. It seems to me that it is not creating enough fluid to move the joint quickly through its motion. Or, do you think it is lack of strength? That something was never reconstructed/healed properly to return to normal? Maybe a short circuit to lose the firing power of the muscle?
