Please get in to see an infection specialist. Soon. Two courses of antibiotics and spreading red streaks is an indication something needs to be done. You are probably at the point where they need to do a culture to see what is hiding in your knee. My cousin was too patient with "nothing to worry about" after hip replacement and ended up with an antibiotic spacer instead of a hip.

@elaineva, this sounds awful. To help you connect with others like @sueinmn @emintexas @titia131 @rebeccamary who have had experience with TKRs and infection, I moved your post to this existing discussion:

How is the PT going with this infection and inflammation?
