advice.
Avoid sitting cross legged.
Avoid squatting- quadriceps exercises- lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain. Core strengthening exercise- straight leg raised with toes turned outward, repeat 10 times, twice a day.
Hams stretching- lie straight, take the leg up, pull the feet towards yourself, with a elastic tube or normal belt. Repeat ...more

I have had pcl reconstruction surgery on 30th jan, followed by knee debridement and lavage on 26th feb due to consistent pain, swelling and mild grade fever. However lab results for pus culture, synovial fluid culture and mtb were negative, ruling out any local infection. Crp and esr are high at 39 and 36 respectively, rest parameters of blood test are normal. After 26 feb, pain was reduced but still it is there. Swelling is there as well. Fever comes and go (99 to 99.5) like 3-4 times in a week. Mri was redone. Result is- marrow edema in distal femur and proximal tibia, moderate joint effusion with synovial thickening and bulky patellar tendonitis. Rest reported normal. Want to know why I still have pain, swelling on knee cap and mild fever thats keeps on coming like 3-4 times a week. What should I do next. I have stopped taking any antibiotics. Not taking physiotherapy sessions also due to pain and swelling. When will pain and swelling around knee cap and fever will go away? Whats wrong with me?

Dear ,
greetings
description tells me that you might have sub-clinical infection. As you are off antibiotics now, we need to see how your feels after 2-3 wks. Repeat your crp and esr levels. 20 days post surgery there should not be any other cause of fever even though its mild. Swelling will take long time to around 6 months or so. Your doctor may advice culture from knee fluid once your are off antibiotics for about 2 wks. Was the second mri with contrast?

Apply ice in the painful area which would definitely help to greater extent. And you can wear elbow brace which would help you to keep your elbow warm and will give you protection.
Consult the near by physiotherapy clinic and also consult a general physician take ultrasonic therapy for 7 days.
