What Causes Milky Discharge And Soreness In Wound On Leg?
I had a torn meniscus repaired two weeks ago. Just had stitches removed Thur and now I have oozing running down my leg constantly. It started with a clear, blood tinged color. My doctor put me on antibiotics for the weekend. Yesterday the discharge is milky colored and my knee sounds squishy. What is causing this?
Hi, It seems that there might be having bacterial infection at stitches site and now there might be having spreading to inside knee joint. Consult your treating doctor and get examined. You require proper treatment and dressing to prevent complications in your knee joint. Ok and take care.
