Ray, I hope the doc has you on some type of anti-inflammatory drug. That's going to make a difference in your bodies reaction to surgery and foreign objects in your leg like that. Each knee and both hip replacements I took Celebrex for a month after the surgery. Maybe ask your doc about that if he's not prescribed it for you. Fluid is an inflammatory process. It will help with the inflammation!!

630ml is over half a liter
For why do you fluid up so much, dude! And by fluid, I mean mostly blood. I'm thinking they missed a spot with cauterizer .

So sorry to hear you're having problems. Hoping they can find the cause and get things under control. Tell doc to get you fixed or he answers to the LTG members!

Well, talk to your doc, Ray. If it's mostly blood, where's it coming from? If it's an inflammatory process you should be on something for that. But most anti-inflammatories are NSAIDS of some form, and if you have bleeding they won't help that because they can hinder clotting. These are things to talk to your doc about. Ask him. Tell him. He should listen.

Your right this needs to be nipped in the bud . The Doc is one of the best . Thing is I’ve always had issues with the this knee don’t know why . The other side is A1 no issues but only the one surgery.

The update , dang thing has been a constant hurt . Signs of infection again from poop how is that even possible ? I have no idea .
At any rate I’m being sliced open again May 6 They want wash it out again and put me back on antibiotics I assume the hard stuff and
they’ll clean out the scar tissue .
though I’m not having the massive swelling of fluid . My knee is like a hard mass growth lol hard to bend like it was swelled with fluid .
the more I try to stretch it work it out the more tight it gets along with hurting .
Ya know that new 80 volt chainsaw is looking mighty fine right now . Lol
Ok so let’s hope 4th time is a charm .
Here’s a pic please avert your eyes . Lol

It is my hope that you will be tasked with having to learn how to cope with being pain free and fully mobile.

Wear and tear? Everybody's different. Some of us need help earlier than others. This is what is so wrong with our healthcare system. I hope Mr. Biden's idea contribute to relief for situations like yours. Heal soon and completely!

I have to ask... Has it been the same hospital and doctors every time? At some point you have to ask why the same thing keeps happening.

Boy, you've had a rough go with this. I hope this next "clean-out" finally lets you begin moving forward with a normal life.
