I'm sorry to hear about the complications you’re experiencing after your ACL surgery, sounds like a tough time. Pus coming out from a stitch indicates that there may still be some lingering infection, so it's really important to stay in close contact with your healthcare provider regarding this. Don't skip any follow-ups and keep an eye for any shifts in your symptoms.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, post-surgery care focuses on balancing the doshas and promoting the healing process of the tissues, or dhatus. It seems there's an imbalance likely caused by accumulated ama (toxins) and possibly a Pitta (fire) dosha disturbance due to the inflammation and infection.
To aid in healing, consider having turmeric, as it naturally supports the immune system and its anti-inflammatory properties might help. A teaspoon of turmeric in warm milk or water can be sipped, perhaps with a pinch of black pepper to enhance absorption, twice daily.
A light, Agni-strengthening diet may be beneficial too. Favor cooked over raw food for ease of digestion. Things like moong dal (lentils) and rice (kichadi) with gentle spices like cumin and coriander could nourish you without burdening the system.
Stay warm, protecting the bandaged area from environmental factors like wind or dampness could also prevent further vitiation of doshas. Ensure you’re hydrating well, it actually helps flush out toxins.
Of course, rest is crucial. Allow your body to direct its energy toward healing. Gentle walks might be okay post-recovery, but listen to your body – don’t push it too hard too soon.
I can’t stress enough how critical it is to follow up with your healthcare provider, they’ll have the best view on how your postsurgical status is evolving and could adjust meds or suggest imaging if needed, if infection doesn't resolve.
