What Causes A Rash On Leg After A TKR?

Hello, I had tkr over I month ago. Last week the hamstring area behind my knee became bruised and painful after doing physical therapy working my hamstring muscles. Physical therapist and orthopedic MD said that I tore my hamstring. Now I am noticing a rash developing all over the leg that I had their procedure on. Rash is worse behind my knee in area where my hamstring is bruised. What do you think the rash means in all of this?

Hi You had a Total Knee Replacement about one month back and then injured your hamstrings during physical therapy , Now you have A Rash which has developed after Hamstring Injury. In my opinion the rash you are talking about is the collection of blood following hamstring injury. It spreads gradually and the colour also changes over time. Just wait for few months and it will disappear.Continue with your exercises but little mild ones.
