I have a swollen knee again; what should i do to avoid another arthroscopic surgery for septic knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: Assuming by your question you have had a septic knee previously, you need to be evaluated quickly. If infection is present in your knee, timely treatment is essential. You may not be able to avoid another surgery, but quick treatment could help you avoid more major treatment.
