@ezas123 good morning, thank you for sharing such unfortunate info about tkr. I actually had a hip replacement 11 years ago by the same doctor that perform my knee surgery. I had NO issue with my hip replacement, which is why I choose to go with the same. I relize that the hip and knee are different, but I never thought of nerves being severed that would cause such pain on a daily basis. I do walk 2 to 3 times a week and strengthen 2 times a week. When i walk sometimes I feel my Tkr knee start to become stiff, I also massage the area one time a day. Yet all the tingling and burning persist daily, all day and night. I can only sleep on one side of my body. And I am told there is nothing that can be done after 2 nd and 3rd opinion. Now I have my right knee and right shoulder beginning to pain and I am certainly looking for alternatives and/or bearing the pain rather than having surgery. Not sure what the future holds for complete recovery and how long i can continue the exercises. My only hope is to find a nerve specialist, who has been in it for a while with exceptional recommendations. And that can do autoscopic surgery going in to fix the nerve without surgery.

@joanhope6 I like you would look for holistic medicine medicine. You never know what might be out there that may help but definitely keep on moving. Keep on exercising so you don’t stiffen up because then you’ll have two problems burning and stiffening.. it’s so unfortunate that there is a few that have so many issues after surgery like if we knew beforehand that this surgery would cost so much scar tissue. I would’ve never had it done. Someday they’ll have a test so they can factor out those people that are not eligible to have replacements instead of performing 3 or 4 surgeries before they realize that they can’t help. Have you tried massage. Sometimes when my muscles are tight I get itchy and massage helps . Worth a shot another thing you can try if you have not is myofacial release I did a lot of that like 3 months after first tkr right into my revision . I am not doing anymore I honestly can’t afford everything this has broke the bank lol . But might be worth if gets rid of burning .
