I just had surgery 6 days ago, my kneecap is red, hot, somewhat swollen. My Dr. said is probably inflamed bursa, I had IV antibiotics at ER 2 days ago and am on 500mg Keflex 4Xs a day. The Dr. admitted today he had never seen my problem. The area is somewhat numb feeling in the red area only the normal area is fine. Is this a common occurrence with the Bursa? My knee is still really swollen but the pain I am having is only when I get up, and the red area seems to get hotter.
IT HAS BEEN 4 WEEKS SINCE SURGERY… I USE CRUTCHES TO AVOID WEIGHT ON MY KNEE… I STILL HAVE THE SAME PAIN I HAD BEFORE SURGERY…. I AM GOING BACK ON THE 22ND TO THE SURGEON BUT I FEEL BAD TO TELL HER IT HAS NOT CHANGED….SHE MIGHT THINK I AM A BABY IS THIS NORMAL AND SHOULD I DROP THE CRUTCHES… I AM DOING MY EXERCISES EVERY AY THANKS
