Well, haven't been here for awhile. My life has turned into a three ring circus. Anyway, eight months out and still swelling, getting stiff and aching. I mean, it's better than before surgery and better than right after surgery. I'm tired of it. Just had to whine a little. :-)
When I had my total knee replacement surgery they test for MRSA by using a q-tip in my nose. I was still carrying it. So, they pumped me full of very very strong antibiotics through an IV.
@hawk2go
I'm sure it's nothing. Been through this before, ended up being a calcium deposit. They're just doing it because I'm high risk with mine and my family's history.
@KarriB and @newlybionic
It was a 24 hour bug. Now I have another problem. I have to have a biopsy. I geuss I need to call for antibiotics on that to. He said any invasive procedure.
@KarriB @newlybionic
They told me to go to ER, that even an infected scratch could cause a blood infection and affect my knee. I do have a infected cat scratch. But, I decided to wait, because the fever was breaking. Now it's back to normal. Got all worked up about nothing. Probably a 24...
@newlybionic
I'm just worried it has something to do with my knee. I carry MRSA. I may call the doctor on call. I mean I have to take antibiotics to get my teeth clean.
@KarriB
Well, my sons girlfriend has been puking on and off for three months. She isn't running a fever,I don't think...
Okay, I'm running 101.8 fever. My knee isn't red and swollen, but doctor impressed upon me about infections. I ache and have the chills. Do I call the doctor? I'm just thinking it's a 24 hour bug.
@kneeper
I'm impatient. Hiking was a big part of my life. My knee is a bit sore right now. I was sitting on the floor cross legged for hours doing all my moms bills and paper work. Went to stand up and can you say ouch. I'm laying down with ice on it now.
@kneeper
Yes, it does hurt for over an hour. I don't realize how far I've walked until it starts aching. It still aches a lot anyway. Still swells a lot. Par for the course I geuss.
