Hi all. My revision has given me an amazing stable knee. Done 05/2021 I have constant swelling and it now seems I may have an infection. I developed cellulitis just below the knee and my GP tried 5 weeks of antibiotics that worked to an extent but has not solved it. Maybe it is Erythema?? Aspirate came back clear today however Revision specialist wants it done again as she thinks the first sample was too close to antibiotics. I am Repeating aspiration in 3 weeks and wait for results.
I have good mobility - I want to know what would be the result if I did not have this repaired assuming it is infected. I am unusually tired which I wonder if it is the result of the low grade infection. Knee is warm and so is the cellulitis/erythema.
I don't desire a revision of a revision but it would seem that there is no other option if this is infected.
Any comments, links or help would be appreciated.
