I Had A Partial Left Knee Replacement On May 1,

I had a partial left knee replacement on May 1, 2015. I am a 34 year old female that has sever medical problems. I have Chrones, inflammatory Bowel Disease. May 15, I had to be admitted to hospital because I had an infection on top of knee & around the staples. It was not in my knee, so my Dr brought me to surgery, removed staples, cleaned up topical infection & stitched it back up. A little over 2 weeks ago the stitches were removed. The past week my knee has really been bothering me. I have a good size knot under my skin at the bottom of my incision. My knee is very red, swollen & full of heat. The last few days it has gotten worse. In 2 areas of incision when I push down on them white/green puss comes out . Also yellow/green fluid ran all down my leg earlier today. I can hardly walk, it is severely painful, a lot worse then after my surgery. It takes everything in me to walk, sit, & try to get back up, even taking Percocet 10 every 4 hours, mobic, Neurotin & zanaflex. My temperature taken by ear right now is 99.9. I don't know what to do, nor understand why weeks after surgery it is doing this. Thanks
