Knee Infection* Another infection
Howdy! I finally have a working knee! 2 stage revision completed March 24th. It AMAZING to straighten and bend my leg. I'm taking oral antibiotics Doxycycline and cefprozil as a precaution..

Knee Infection* Another infection
I know that initially swabs have been cultered. I do not know for sure about 2,3 and 4. Very good questions to ask my surgeon. I sure appreciate it, as he is always in a rush to just reassure me I think we got it. I didn't have a single blood draw in my 7 day hospital stay. My experiences...- Clocacola
