i had an operation in my patella (left leg)---ORIF technique last January 10, 2008. I was supposed to have rehabilitation or therapy but i can't do this because i'm now at work. I had 2 PT sessions but it was so painful i was trying to find other ways to do it at home and a little painful cause i have heart complications so when i had it i could hardly breathe. Do I need to remove the implants?
