What causes pain and swelling in the knee?
Patient: Actually my husband has had 2 artho knee surgeries and 3 full replacements...#1-parts too big, #2 not enough parts in, made it too loose, #3 all hardware and stability good...but he still has severe pain and swelling on the top outer side of his knee with skin discoloration... all has been done within 3 years..last surgery was April 15th....the ortho Dr says everything is fine and he just has to push through the pain.... Doctor: There should be some reason for the pain. But such things ate only understood once we see and examine the patient. I would recommend u to seek an opinion from other ortho.
