I had the 2 stitches in my knee removed today after 10 days. It didnt bleed at first and the doctor was pleased how well it had sealed up. But then I got on my bike (she hadnt said I couldnt!)... and I felt it spring open. I have quite a lot of blood on the inside of my trousers. I disinfected it and put a plaster over it to avoid my trousers rubbing. She did say some bleeding is normal... but how much??
If it is still bleeding later, should I go back?
