Bones, joints and muscles

I am 4 weeks post op and just woke up with my gums inflamed and sensitive to touch.  What do I do???   From previous experience I know I have developed a gum infection..  Do I call my dentist to get a prescription phoned in??

Let your doctor know first, they okay ed me for antiobiotics, I ended up with the same issue. Best wishes aa

My doc prescribed antibiotics just routinely for 14 days so that I didn't have to worry about anything. That was his way to keep me from getting anything that would interfere. I agree, your surgeon should be notified immediately.

I got ahold of my dentist and he knew about my TKR and prescribed antibiotics over the phone to my pharmacist.... I've already started with a double dosage but I can't get the worrying out of my head it could of already spread..

Get appointment with dentist. They can take a good look. I used to be a dental nurse years ago. Even though you may have a good idea of what cause is, get seen. Your body is at a low ebb, and this type of thing more likely to happen.
