Why is blood from an arthroscope knee surgery after 4 days is still coming out of the incision?
Four days post op you should not have any discharge from the incisions. I recommend contacting your physician. Depending on the amount of activity and swelling you may still be tender and have some redness, but the incision should be healing closed. If you have been over doing it, it may have opened the incision and caused bleeding but that should should not be a large amount. Signs and symptoms of infections are fever, swelling, redness, pain at incision site and possibly a foul smell, pus instead of blood and increased tenderness to the touch. If you are having any of these signs please call your physican as soon as possible.
