I am 10 weeks out from double TKR and 3 weeks out from MUA. I'm still experiencing the burning on the sides of the knees and across the patella. PT tells me the same, "be patient and see how it goes". At 3 1/2 weeks out it sounds like you are doing great!

I am at 6 weeks. Mine was a recall from 4 years 7 months ago on the part they put in. The tightest and burning still has me in tears some days even with pain meds and muscle relaxer. PT says it’s my quad. ROM is at 116. Straighten it out. Flexibility is at 0. Have only slept all night 4 nights in last 6 weeks. Have been up all night last night.Was up by 5 am yesterday morning with no naps. How do you make the tightest and burning go away ? I cannot even drive yet.
