After a couple of months I developed a large “pimple “ which ruptured one night. My doctor brought me into his office right away and within a day I was in surgery to clean my knee out and culture taken which confirmed the infection. Hopefully that’s not what you’re dealing with, but make sure your medical team considers the possibility. It’s rare, but it does happen.

Yikes! I’m so glad you’re doing better. I’ve been pretty bummed about this, I’m on the younger end for this and expected to be able to add activity, not the other way around. Hate feeling so limited, starting to wish I’d never done it. Had several opinions that all led me to it though.
