Had Knee Reconstruction. Developed Cyclops Lession. Having Pain In The Interior Part Of Knee. Using Ultrarelieve Pro. Cause? Cure?

Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen all the reports attached.
The cyclops hematoma and fat pad has been removed. The post surgical recovery period varies from 4-6 weeks. The mild pain that he is feeling is likely to subside gradually after the swelling subsides and the XXXXXXX tissue heals completely. The previous graft has healed well and there is nothing to worry.
It is best to avoid full weight bearing and continue with the hot fomentation.
Using an elastic knee brace will also help and provide support to the knee joint.
The weird sensation in the knee on using ultra relieve is likely to be due to a local tissue edema. This should subside gradually in next two weeks.
Do go for a regular follow up examination.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Thanks for writing again.
The arthroscopy done during second surgery suggests that the meniscus is well healed. Thus the chances of a torn meniscus are not there.
The swelling can be reduced by hot fomentation. Cold fomentation is advised for first 3-4 days to reduce the chances of bleeding. Now after three weeks, a hot compress will increase the blood supply to the area thus promoting an early healing.
The swelling can be due to a wear and tear of the cartilage or a mild inflammation. To increase the cartilage production, joint lubricants like Glucosamine, chondroitin or Dycerin are recommended. Glucosamine sulphate is preferred over chloride.
Local injections of joint lubricants may also help. But it is best to do a hot fomentation and wait for at least two more weeks and see how much he recovers.
Hope my answer is helpful.
