A member asked:
I have a bad knee from surgery, ive had to take some antibiotics for a gum infection, is it weird that my knee feels better, do i have a knee infectio?

Knee: Some antibiotics like tetracycline have some anti inflammatory properties. If your knee is not warm , hot , swollen , and you have been told you have a lot of wear of the knee joint , it is unlikely u have infection in your knee.
