What are the chances of getting rsd in the knee joint from a rescope? i was told i have a mechanical issue in the knee what exactly does that mean??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee symptoms: Although it is possible to get RSD after a knee arthroscopy ,it is uncommon. Mechanical issue would refer to some structure like the meniscus , ligament or articular surface which has been injured and keeping the knee from working normally ( i.e. Knee has pain swelling , stiffness, locking and or giving way)RSD is sometimes difficult to treat and may take 12- 18 months to improve and or resolve
