When To Contact Your Doctor

Contact your doctor:

  • If there is unrelenting significant pain in the knee.

  • If the surgical incision becomes warm, red, or appears to have an opening or drainage.

  • If swelling persists/increases.

  • If either of the calf regions become swollen and painful or tender to the touch.

  • If you become generally warm and ill feeling.

  • If chest pain or coughing develop without cause or reason.
