Hello all,
It's almost 5 years since my left TKR. The last few weeks I keep getting bruises over my knee. I had bruises immediately post-surgery which I know is normal, but just the past few weeks I've been getting them over and over. Once one heals, I get another. They're relatively big and go through a wonderful array of colours. I have not been banging it, nor doing anything different to normal. Maybe a little more physical activity recently as I've been trying to lose some weight, but nothing too physical, my other disabilities prevent this.
The TKR wasn't fully successful. I'm told that I have rather stretchy ligaments because of my Larsen's Syndrome, so my knee is always clunking.
I'm 36 and otherwise healthy apart from my LS.
I'll attach a photo of how it looks as I'm typing this.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
