Its been 7 weeks since tkr and things are moving along ok. When I last visited the OS I asked him what the hard swelling lump was above the patella. He told me that it was a bursa, (bursitis)sac of fluid that lubricates the knee joint and that it would disappear in time. I had the swelling down at one stage but excercise seems to aggravate it. I am hopeing that someone might suggest something to help with swelling reduction. Thankyou all very much,
Ern.
