So is it normal that one incision could still drain after one week? Had ACL surgery and the lower incision started to drain after I hit 95 degrees on the CPM machine.
Same here I just got mine done three days ago and yeah so they didn't give me anything extra but I have a knee brace at home but yeah they didn't send me home with anything extra I'm wonder why
I had a meniscus repair surgery. I showered yesterday but didn’t really wet or clean it with soap and water. Should I be using soap and water on the incision? Or is the run off soap and water enough to keep it clean? I get squeamish when I look at it or touch it
Keep it dry for 72 hours. Hmm then suture perfectly so it doesnt drain or bleed alot and soak the gauze which is then WET. mine drained through 1 inch thick gauze totally soaked through. Can I change it or no. Can pressure be applied to stop bleeding. Can I get a redo of sutures? Glad I know first aid. Or I'd probably be going to the ER...

I wish they gave me a brace like this
I don't think I got extra wraps for my knee after my surgery

I wasn’t even told to put on a knee brace. I’m wondering if I messed myself up
Thank you
Was this acl surgery
Yeah that's who usually wears this brace, so I would bet on it.
They didn’t give me the surgitube and only gave me one wrap and one guaze for 3 incision not the most fun.
