Re: My arthritic knee...

[ Edited ]

BtwYou need to call the doctor right away , You probably have an infection and if you do you need antibiotics now. My brother had this happen and he thought he just overused it climbing stairs , He had a terrible infection and was on antibiotics for 6 months after surgery to drain both knees , It was a horrendous infection and he remained in the hospital for over 6 months and through rehab was able to walk again . The doctors drained about 3 cups of infected thick liquid which looked like applesauce , Yes gross, Call yourdoctor.And yes this was in both knees 1 year  after knee replacements .
