What Causes A Blister On The Incision Site Of Arthroscopic Meniscus Surgery?

I have a blister located between the incisions of my arthroscopic meniscus surgery. Surgery was on Thursday and today is Saturday. I have lowered some of the dressing so it no longer rubs on it. Is this normal and do I just leave it be? It looks to be a clear fluid but is a bit tender.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi welcome to health care magic. After going through your query I think there is gross swelling at knee after surgery which causes lack of vascularity in tissues which can result in blister. You need sterile dressing of the blister , elevation of leg, physiotherapy of knee. Hope your query has been answered . Thanks.
