A member asked:
Effusion in left knee. 6 years have lapsed, with zero results. the fluid goes by taking anti biotic but appears again. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let me explain: You have effusion in the knee for long time; go away with the use of antibiotic? I will advise you to go and see rheumatologist in your area and have him drain your knee and send the fluids to the lab for full analysis. I hope this will solve your problem.
