Good morning my lovelies
I have a question for all of you who have or have had Osteoarthritis - did you ever notice that the swelling (fluid) in your knee migrated to your lower leg and foot? My unoperated knee has severe OA, and I have marked swelling in my calf and foot, as well as around the knee. No pain associated with it, apart from my OA pain in the knee.
I dont remember this happening with the TKR knee, and was just wondering if anyone else had?? I dont want to bother with a GP visit if its a run of the mill symptom.

I had TKR of my left knee 3 years ago which was very successful.
If it persists I would go to GP after all that is what they are thee for.
Take care and keep in touch

However, shes absolutely lovely so I never mind seeing her, unlike some GP's Ive had in the past!

As a general rule, you should always advise your doctor of any and all new symptoms - delay is not an option.

I had a full set of bloods done a couple of weeks ago (nothing knee-related) and everything came back clear, and my meds havent changed for a while, so Im not overly concerned in that respect, but youre right of course, GP should be aware of everything so Ive made an appointment with her next week (earliest I could get!) in case it doesnt resolve itself in the next few days. Im also seeing my Consultant three weeks from today, so I'll make sure and tell him as well.

I think thats what it is to be honest, there is n awful lot of fluid on my knee, so I guess its got to go somewhere....I didnt have anywhere near as much fluid and swelling on the other knee pre TKR, so presumably thats
why there is such a difference.
