I'm three and 1/2 weeks out and my burning is now gone. Granted it was only a silver dollar size on the inside of my knee but it burned like hell. PT and Dr both said it's from a nerve they sometimes have to move or cut.

Chi girl, So glad you’re doing better now. It appears we just have to wait it out sometimes and let our bodies do their mending. I’m 13 days post surgery with bilateral TKR. By all measurements available from my PT I’ve got great ROM for 2 weeks post op. I’ve still got a lot to go to get at ‘0’ or ‘120’. But, I’m sleeping better at night but still wake up multiple times during the night. Sometimes my husband will get me up and we’ll walk around the house to loosen up the tight muscles. I’m trying to do everything my PT tells me to do.
I know I have a lot of work ahead, but it will be so much better after the healing.
