I had my first knee replacement September 12 and my second one November 7. I have been on narcotics since June , am anxious to get off of them. The last two or three days my second knee replacement the skin around the area sometimes feels like it’s on fire it, it will last 1 to 2 hours and then it goes away. It comes back it’s surprising moments out of the blue. Today I went to the store and halfway through I felt like my pants were rubbing on it but they weren’t. I had my hips replaced 16 years ago my shower to replace this past January 5 years ago my desk collapse in my back and I have a basket at three for level. But I’ve never had burning around the skin before. Another new experience.

I had my TKR on November 14, 20 19 and I have had quite a bit of pain mostly at night. The burning pain did not start until December. It does it burn all the time but when it hits it feels like five wasp are stinging me. I can’t sleep at night, it’s usually 3 o’clock or 4 o’clock before I can go to sleep at night. I have been back to the surgeon and he re-X-rayed my Knee and said it was okay. I just wish the surgeons would tell you what to expect, even though I know everyone is not the same
