After six months TKR still a bit swollen and warm

I am 7 months post TKR and my knee is still a little swollen and stiff. My surgeon has sent me for a bone scan and MRI which didn’t show much but a little fluid. He is going to try and drain it this week and send the fluid in, looking for a low grade infection. It hasn’t stopped me from doing things but it isn’t what I hoped for.

I am 11 months out and still have some swelling and if. do too much I feel that baker's cyst behind my knee. At 5 months my surgeon took a x-ray and said it looks good and that was it. I'm going in tomorrow and hoping he does something but I'm not holding out any hope. Really wonder if I could possibly have a low grade infection however my blood work CBC are all normal from my NP. I am doing everything but getting up off the floor and by afternoon my leg and muscles around my knee all hurt and I lose range of motion the longer I do things. I always push through. I did 18,000 steps at Universal when we were there and I did pay for it later that evening and wore my knee sleeve as well. However you can only wear that so long. Let us know what they find.
