Brief Answer:
MRI of the involved knee is mandate.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I understand your concern.

The bleeding could possibly relate to Knee replacement surgery.

But it needs a definite confirmation only after radiological assessment.

The need for MRI scan of the knee is extremely important in your case.

Further management is based on the test results.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.
