@jvalart21 @lhruza you are both still pretty early in your recovery. I didn’t have a burning sensation but I did have intense pain for about 6 weeks which very suddenly lifted, almost overnight, so don’t despair.
My pain was so intense for a while that my surgeon was seeing me frequently. We were both relieved when it went away. Now that knee never bothers me. My flex is around 120, not as good as I would like, but livable. I know he can improve the flex with an outpatient procedure but I don’t think it’s important enough to go through recuperation again.
