What Causes Weeping Edema In Legs Post Knee Replacement?
I have weeping edema in both legs which occurred soon after I had a total right knee replacement. This was two years ago and my legs are still weeping. I was put on steroids and it helped somewhat but in various spots of my leg my leg would weep. I have had a CAT scan sonogram and an MRI. None had shown any pertinent cause for this weeping. I am at my wits end. My email is YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
It can be a lymphadema due to injuries to lymphatics during the procedure. Consult a vascular surgeon and get evaluated. Limb elevation and compression stockings can provide symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
