Hello All, well im 5 days post op from having my 8 month old knee removed, im treating my staph infection with IV bags of antibiotics twice a day, they installed 2 IV ports in my chest,one for a morning treatments and one for the evening treatments for a total of 6 weeks and if the infection is gone the ports will be removed..now back to where my knee use to be,they removed my new inplant i had put in on march,8th of this year and packed it with antibiotic cement and will leave it in place for 3 months, then I will get a new knee again. My pain is under control but I do have alot of muscle pain in my upper thigh where they put a tourniquet to stop the blood flow.It really hurts and I find im out of breath just getting out of bed and using my walker to get to my recliner in the living room, just a short distance and no stairs. thanks everyone
