skycat 6,174 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Put a poultice on it to draw out the infection. Old granny's remedy: boiling water on to brown bread, cool slightly and apply to the place, and bandage. Kaolin poultice from the chemist is very good: spread on bandage and slap it on the knee: that DOES work: tried it a couple of times myself. Or doctor: antibiotics. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dtw 42 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi mate, go to doctors as soon as possible. I didn’t and have just spent 4 days in hospital, had to have surgery on my knee to clean out a burst abscess. My knee is open to the bone as they don’t close up infected wounds. Having to attend out patients three times a week for dressing changes and is going to take months for it to heal up and then have to have physio to get movement back in knee. All because I got something in knee whilst shooting, and ignored it for a week. Good luck, get it seen to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
