I HAVE ARTHRITIS EVERY WHERE, BUT I WOKE UP WITH MY RIGHT KNEE REALLY HURTING. I HAVE HAD TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT ON MY LEFT KNEE.I have just sit with it elevated today. It is some better. I worry about a blood clot for some reason I take morphin 15 mg for severe pain. I only take 1 a day as I need it. I took 1 at 6:00 this morning and just now took another one. I have never taken over 2 a day. I don t have an appointment with my pain Dr. until Sept.24. I am about to put ice on it. Am I doing the right thing. Thanks
I have studied your case. Your symptoms suggest possibility of Deep vein thrombosis.
Ultrasonography/colour Doppler leg will help to rule pathology leading to pain and swelling like deep vein thrombosis.
Clinical examination and further investigation can be performed after consulting your doctor. Till time you can do leg exercises and physiotherapy.
If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
