why would a full elbow replacement constantly be leaking fluid?
My mother is 78 and has an elbow replacement that is constantly leaking fluid. She is in a nursing home and they don’t seem to be concerned about it. They say she is on antibiotics forever but can’t give a reason for the leak. It drains thru her bandages everyday. Does anyone know if this is normal and if not, what should I do about it? HELP!!

That nursing home doesn’t seem to care about her at all. Get her out of there and to a doctor who actually cares.

I think you should take her to a doctors!! Nursing homes are really stupid and they really don’t care about the elderly either. I know from experience with my family. If you can, I really suggest just taking her to see a speccialist or a doctor somewhere else…because it is pretty obvious the staff there don’t seem to care about the issue
