Knee hot after TKR
Posted , 13 users are following.
I'm just over 5 weeks and today my knee has been red hot.
There aren't any red patches and no pain so I'm sure there's no infection, it's just red hot all over and I've spent most of the day with ice on it and with it up (not had ice on all the time, probably every hour for 10 mins or so). But within 5 minutes of ice coming off, I can feel it getting hot again. There is no pain, it is just hot and maybe a bit swollen as it is feeling very stiff and tight, but I am still doing exercises to stretch and relieve this tightness.
i did do a bit more than usual yesterday, but not too much, do you think it is just that, or does anyone have any experience of this?

You are deffo a veteran when it comes to knee surgery and the most experienced on here so what you don't know about TKR could be written on the back of a Fleas underpants.....In fact rumour has it that you occaisionally do the odd op. yourself as your'e so knowledgable, if that is still the case I might let you loose on my right knee and if that goes well perhaps my left also.
Once again all the very best Mate!!
