Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
Sokage can be for first 2 -3 days,this can be arthroscopy saline fluid.

You may need to rule out infection.
Bruising can be due to venous occlusion.
You need to do proper physiotherapy protocol before and after surgery to strengthen your quadriceps and hamstring muscles.

Knee support like knee cap or hinged knee brace will be helpful,

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
