A member asked:
Why might my knee stil bel swollen after arthroscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swollen knee: It's hard to know why you still have swelling without knowing how much damage there was in your knee. Typical reasons for the swelling are blood, inflammatory fluid, or an infection. Your doctor may have to drain the knee to improve your symptoms and give you a reason for the swelling.
