Suggest Treatment For Knee Swelling Post A Knee Replacement Surgery
I have stage 3 CKD. I had a total knee replacement and the swelling and inflammation will not subside. So I cannot take NSAIDS. Can I try Medrol dosepack steroids or do you know of a good way to alleviate the inflammation? Will medrol harm my kidneys ?

Hello,
Medrol is a steroid and should not be taken without proper indication or prescription. You can do a hot compress and apply local analgesic gel for relief.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
