Be seen: I would definitely be seen. If you had surgery and it is now warm and hurts a lot, you would need to make sure you don’t have an infection among other possibilities.

I am currently 32 weeks pregnant and I think I may have torn my meniscus again. I can barley straighten it, its swollen and hot to the touch. Anything I can to help the pain until baby gets here? Ive had 2 previous surgeries on this knee.
