Lots of swellinf after a recent knee surgery. is this swelling usual or a possible sign of infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: It depends on the reason for swelling. 1- infection means germs in the area causing the swelling and pain and redness and fever if you have those means you infection, if you do not have those symptoms most likely swelling after the surgery.
