Suffering From Muscle And Tendon Tightness, Temperature And Headache After Total Knee Replacement. Still Recovering?
*I had tkr 10 months ago. I have experienced muscle and tendon tightness since I got home from the hospital, thru therapy and still have it now. I have been experiencing a low grade temp since Saturday with chills. I have no other symptoms except a little headache when the temp is highest. Could this have anything to do with my knee at this late date? Thank you

Hello,
If there are no local symptoms like knee pain,swelling at knee,difficulty in walking then there are minor chances that this can be due to your knee surgery.You should consult to your physician & search for any remote site of infection like pharyngitis,tonsillitis,urinary tract infection, as a cause for this.
Hope this will help you.
With best wishes.
