    If you are having increased pain and spots on the scar (?) you best have the knee looked at by Dr in case there is any infection. Keep and eye on your temperature too, if that rises, it is also a sign of possible infection. Best wishes, hope all is OK Diana.

    Be aware of possible infection developing close to scar. Best get a nurse or doctor to look at it.

    I'm just three days over six weeks and my knee is still sore and stiffens up if I haven't been moving for a while especially overnight.  Six weeks isn't long in the scheme of things.  I have good days and bad days depending on how much I have walked around.  Re the pimples maybe get that checked out in case you do have infection and you are saying your knee hurts more than it did before so can't hurt to have it looked at.
