Screws in my right knee
Hi, last year on August 18th 2017 I had knee surgery on my right knee, my knee was curved and the doctor cut some of my bone and moved it over and put 2 screws in to make my knee straight, at first a couple months after my surgery i had hard white bumps forming near my incision line, but now today I have another white bump that when I popped it, it was clear pus mixed with blood, is it possible that the screws are ready to come out or something else?
