Schäfer Heinrich’s Pain Persists Eight Months After Knee Surgery, With New Stomach Troubles

He links the abdominal cramps to long-term painkillers taken since the operation.

Overview

  • Eight months after receiving a half-sided knee prosthesis, he says he still cannot walk properly and continues farm work in significant pain.
  • He reported severe abdominal cramps since the previous night, attributing them to prolonged use of pain medication following the procedure.
  • A doctor recently took new X-rays and told him the knee looks in order, yet his symptoms and mobility problems remain.
  • The injury occurred when an agitated ram knocked him down, and he initially delayed medical care out of concern for his flock.
  • He describes financial strain from lost income and is seeking recognition of the incident as an occupational accident for insurance relief, while insisting he will keep his farm.
