Hi my mum has had a half knee replacement 10 months ago and recently has been admitted to hospital when her knee swells and she temporarily becomes paralysed. Last time luckily, her consultant was on duty and inserted a needle and withdrew 2 syringes of blood. she is being re admitted to hosp every 2 weeks now with this problem, and is in constant pain. Will this ever subside or will she need another op. Where is this bleed coming from?
Hihope this msg finds u in good health. I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern. The implant seems to be infected causing blood to accumulate and causing pain. I suggest d aspirated blood to be sent for culture and sensitivity and start appropriate antibiotics. Get a X-ray done to find out what's wrong. Resurgry will be cumbersome and should be avoided as far as possible. Nothing to worry about. Hope your question has been answered. If u have any follow-up queries, feel free to consult me anytime.  Thanks Take care god bless
