I might have one.  Started antiobiotics and seeing my doctor later today.  Anyone have one?  How difficult was it to treat?  Little freaked out here :(

The seroma that my doctor opened on my knee was infected.  This was the leg that I had and the drain was clogged.  I actually felt the seroma coming on (to much research on my hands, lol).  I called my doctor about it on Friday and since my appointment was on Monday didn't go in he just told me to watch it and if it became hot or more inflamed or red etc come in.  On that Monday he took a scapel and opened up the wound, packed it and gave me antibiotics and again told to watch it and I took my temp.  I think I still ran a little temp for a couple days but the pressure that was relieved was GREAT.  By Wednesday I was all better, still on antibotics and packing the wound ofcourse.
