Dear Bonesmarties,
Yesterday (Saturday) I woke up with bleeding from my incision (it was from a spot about the size of a pencil eraser). It is still doing it a very small amount today.
It was hard to know what to do over the weekend, so I called the 24 hour nurseline from my insurance company and she said to wash it in mild unscented soap, and put on Neosporin. I had expected my incision to be scabs and to be closed by now. My therapist on Friday had been aggressive with pushing on my knee by the therapist and bending it by her to the point of pain. Is this what caused it? Should I tell them to dial it back--I don't want to get an infection. The knee doesn't hurt especially now and isn't any pinker or swollen than usual. What was your experience with your incision?
Bridget
