Question : I had a total knee replacement 8 weeks ago, two weeks ago I had a manipulative surgery due to lack of motion. I still have the same lack of motion and pain as well as warmth, swelling and some redness. Why is this happening??

Brief Answer:
Need to do tests

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
You should do xrays and blood tests to rule out possible infection of prosthesis or dislocation. After 8 weeks ,you should already see improvements if everything was done correctly so you should see your surgeon about this and do tests I 've recommended.Wish you good health. Regards
