Suggest Remedy For Knee Pain After Knee Replacement Surgery

I HAD A KNEE REPLACEMENT ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO. jUST 3 WEEKS AGO i HAD SUDDEN PAIN AND COULD NOT WALK - MY KNEE WAS DRAINED OF A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF BLOOD AND THE PAIN LEFT. TWO WEKS AFTER THE PAIN HIT AGAIN AND AGAIN i COULD NOT WALK. eNDED IN EMERGENCY WHERE BLOOD WAS AGAIN DRAINED FROM KNEE. ALTHOUGH I CAN WALK (LIMP) AND IT IS VERY SORE I HAVEN T RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION WHY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN. SINCE BOTH TIMES I HAD NO WARNING AND WAS FORTUNATE SOMEONE WAS AROUND TO HELP ME MOVE I AM AFRAID OF HAVING THIS HAPPEN WHEN I AM ALONE AND CANNOT MOVE.
