I was given prophylactic antibiotics (teicoplanin) prior to the arthroscopic lysis and debridment of left knee. Thankfully I did not get an infection post operatively.

I forgot to say pain wise, I have found amitriptyline at night and baclofen three times a day very beneficial, along with regular paracetamol, brufen twice a day. Immediately after surgery I was topping up with oramorph as needed
