Hi,

Is your renal function normal? This would be reflected in blood urea and creatinine levels.

Could you provide a few details about the complications you suffered?

Pain and inflammation of the knee joint can be due to either injury or due to changes occuring at the knee joint due to certain systemic disorders.

You will need to contact your doctor either in person or telephonically to discuss this development.

You can take Advil for the pain if you do not have compromised renal function.

Do keep us posted on your doubts and progress.
Regards

To your question,I ended up with lymphatic issues after my second surgery, where they saved my life.Im in the middle of lossing weight because I gained weight.An yes I do work out an go for walks every thing my doctors tell me to do.When I took a laxitive to help my go, the swelling went down and the pain went away.what gets me is that I feel so sick an slow down don't so much.The blood test always come back fine all level are where they should be.Should I push to get the two staples out of me, where my first Doctor messes up.I was told to live with it an people every day all the time.
