Swelling in my knee
Hi,
I had surgery on my knee like four months ago and about a month ago I just started to become really active with it. But now I just got back from walking in the woods for an hour. I go to take a show and my knee is swollen like a balloon. It doesn't hurt it just seems to be swollen with water. I wonder if I need water pills or if it is retaining fluid. This surgery was a major surgery they need to do reconstruction and it wasn't arthroscopic, it was cut you open four inches and arthroscopic. He did such a good job that I almost have ful range from it. There are some activities that I'm limited too like probably swimming, running and jumping and kneeling. But now I guess I have to cut down the exercise because I'm retaining water. My knee looked huge compared to my other knee.
