HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorIts very serious that you are suffering from infections after such a sophisticated operation. There may be problems with operation procedures or may be ignorance towards infection control measures or may be antibiotics were not taken properly by you or may be due to resistance to antibiotics. Your doctor must properly examine your knee with lab tests and serial x-rays. Please take advises about appropriate painkillers and antibiotics and after that proper physiotherapy.Don't worry and take care...
