A member asked:
5 weeks after osteochondroma removed from knee, swelling, heat and slight pain at wound, bloods show elevated crp levels, what could this mean?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Infection: It does not sound good. You may have an infection of the wound or even worse, of the knee. Have your surgeon check it asap.

Infection?: If your doctor ordered a crp, typically they are looking for markers of infection. The clinical exam is more important in determining if you have an infection and should inlclude looking at any fluid that is coming out from your incision under a mircrscope for signs of bateria.
