Was the lymph node in the same location as his surgery??If so,it could be swollen in response to injury or trauma to the area.Was his miniscus torn or injured-was that the reason for surgery?If the doctors felt it was okay to go ahead with the surgery,he should be fine.If they felt it was something that needeed immediate attention,they would have said so.Wait til the next mri and see what the doc says.Good luck to both of you.Patty

Hi patty,

thanks for your reply. Yes the enlarged lymph node is in the area of his injury. The minisicus was torn and very inflamed. Thanks for the encouraging words.
