I had my knee replacement 6 weeks ago. I had dissolvable stitches and I have been putting vitamin E on my scar. Last week I noticed that a stitch was still there. I just tried to pull it out with my finger nail. It hurt so I just left it. I think it is infected now. It is purple and puffy and the stitch is still there. Any advice. I go back to the surgeon on Thusday. Should I wait or should I go to ER.
