Brief Answer:
no indication seen ma'am, I do not think it is required

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again ma'am.

Thank you for your kind response.

As it has been almost 18 months since your knee replacement, I do not see any indication for aspirin use and so my response would be no, you do not need the aspirin now as there is no indication for its use.

I hope you find my response help. Please also feel free to write to me about any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
