No, I didn't have that problem.  Since it's draining fluid and since it concerns you, go see your PCP or the nurse in the PCP's office and ask them just look at for you and let you know if it's something to be concerned about.  If they believe it is, they will call the surgeon's office for you.  I think it's fine and will heal but you need the reassurance from a professional.

Re: New Total Knee replacement issue

I reviewed everyone's feedback an appreciate it. There is no change in the drainage this morning and no increase so that's good.  I took pictures of the incision and emailed them to my doctor as previosly stated and he has no concern so I will see what happens by early next week. Therapy has not caused any problems since there is a lot of bending, stair climbing and manipulation by the therapist so that's good. I had sutures with my left knee replacement, they used durabond for this surgery so maybe that had something to do with it. We shall see !
