Excessive fluid buildup after surgery

Have had 2 surgeries on knee. Jan 2001 cyst removed from back of knee. Post-op visits 5 times to remove fluid buildup. April 2001 torn cartilage said to be problem had surgery I am still getting a lot of fluid. Returned to work Sept. 17th since then have had 128 cc's of fluid removed in a 3 week period. Do have some arthritus in knee.
What could be causing the fluid ?

Hi, Jim.

From what you have said, you stil have done nothing about WHY you have the problem.

What have you learned from the archives about knee, about arthritis, about Baker's or about bracing?
