393942 tn?1315560152 About 3 weeks ago I had knee surgery. The Doc did 3 seperate things to my knee. He cleaned out more arthritis, repaired my minicus, and a lateral release. Since the surgery I have developed a hugh lump on the outside part of my knee and my whole leg swelled. My doc said that the only thing that will help all the swelling would be a compression stocking. The stocking helped from my knee down but did nothing from my knee up. The lump is still as big as ever.
Avatar n tn Had a lateral release (-10 to +80), partial medial meniscectomy and shaved cartilage on my knee 2 weeks ago. Saw physician 1 week after surgery He exasperated swelling at lateral release incision with no luck in reducing the swelling, he said to keep compress on it most of the time.
Avatar n tn t hurt but sometimes it would feel a pinch in my knee. It turned out to be a calcium build up? So I got another surgery to remove it. They just re opened one of my largest previous incision and took it out! It might be that!
Avatar n tn hi I have had a lump on the side of my right knee now for two weeks its very painful to the point I can barely walk on my right leg and the lump has gotten bigger what should I do or what is it?
Avatar n tn Another possibility is a swelling in the spine due to the recent surgery. The swelling may be a blood lump or a cyst filled with fluid. This may be along the area where spinal anesthesia was delivered. The pressure on the nerve by virtue of the mass effect would be similar to the impact of a fracture. Try to get learn some more specifics and the information that you need may be better discussed.
Avatar f tn Thanks for your update. It's good to hear from you again. I am delighted to hear that you are healing. Wonderful News!! I've researched your past posts and can't find the diagnosis on this last knee surgery. I know it was to be an arthroscopic but if you have a large scar it sounds like it turned out to be more involved. Can you share with us what your surgeon discovered? You back and hip pain may well be as we discussed on your last post...
Avatar n tn I have a full exam scheduled for next week. My question is are these infections due to my knee surgery, can they effect my recovery of my knee surgery or are they just different problems although? I know they said infections can be very dangerous.
Avatar f tn I had an x-ray on my knee because of pain, and now they have found another cyst in my right knee. My dr. said it is not what was cuasing the pain, we were just lucky we caught it or something. I can't even get that one looked at by a specialist until late August. Now i've been diagnosed with a kidney infection... but i'm very worried because no urine smaple or anything was taken, and i was only looked at by a doctor in a clinic for one minute...
Avatar f tn recently I have been getting a larger lump swelling on the inside of my left ankle. The pain is now creeping up my leg to the knee. I have had a tarsal tunnel release surgery on that spot 3 years ago with great result until now. I also had nerve release on left leg near knee on outside of leg. It swells more and more each day and by evening is the size of an orange on the inside of ankle--right side is normal, outside of ankle is normal but left foot pain is getting worse.
Avatar m tn (Near my groin) The next day I noticed another lump further down on my leg. The day after, the lump lower down on my leg had gone but the lump in my groin stayed. This lump was very sore at first. Weeks went on & the pain went away. It was just a lump. decided to get it checked & I had the following checks: 1. Ultrasound to check what is - Confirmed an enlarged Lymph node. (2-3cm) 2. needle biopsy.
1108194 tn?1378424522 I have a lump on my left clavical. The doctor thinks its a ganglion cyst. I thought these only occured on the ankle, knee, and wrist? Can you confirm?
Avatar n tn The screw in my tibia is almost always painful, and I have a very palpable lump where it is and my scar from surgery is. My Dr said that the lump is probably just calcification and that taking the screw out may help with pain but the pain may leave on its own. My scar/screw still hurts 10 months later but maybe your paint will go away. :) Good luck!
Avatar m tn hi, i had new acl put in after tearing it. It has been a few months after the surgery, and the other night i hyper flexed the knee. The knee hurt for about 15 seconds, and then felt fine.I think there is a tiny bit of swelling, but im not sure. My question is if i retore it, would it hurt to walk on? would it swell? and how do i know? I dont want to have to go through that long process again.
Avatar m tn My mother had Knee Replacement Surgery in one knee a little over two years ago, due to osteoarthritis. However, she does still have considerable amount of pain. She "bandages" her knees up every morning. She did all of the required exercises after the surgery (perhaps too much). Her range of motion is OK, but less than it was before surgery. She was able to sit cross-legged before the surgery for a little while, but cannot now.
Avatar f tn It was a bucket handle tear on the meniscus in my left knee and I have had keyhole surgery. Is there anything I can do to help my knee back to the way it was before my injury?
1092452 tn?1257350509 I had a knee replacement in June 09, I spent 4weeks in a rehab. center..physical therapy 6 days a week.

655727 tn?1283296048 The knee will not bend as far as it did before you developed knee problems, but the surgery will allow you to stand and walk for longer periods without pain. After surgery, you may be allowed to resume activities such as golfing, riding a bike, swimming, walking for exercise, dancing etc. Keeping in view the restriction on bending the knees, you may not extremely bend the knee but may learn to discover a new position on the top but with less bending of affected knee. That will help.
Avatar n tn I had surgery 9-29-08 and had a Zimmer gender specific total knee replacement. Since then I have pain around the outer edge of my left foot and across the arch of my foot. Can you give me an answer as to why this has happened and what can I do for the pain?

Avatar n tn My sister had a petela and ligament reconstruction, plsu numerous other things done because of tears etc. found after going into the knee. Less than one week after surgery and after going to Physical therapy twice she started having a burning sensation on the shin below the knee that was operated on.
Avatar n tn I am writing this in hopes that someone out there knows the answer to my "lump" in my leg. I played college level soccer for 5 years as a Goalie and strained/pulled my quad many many times but always played through it... I'd have rehab on it but nothing major felt wrong just never gave it time to heal. About 1 year later I began to train for a half marathon & begin playing again...
