I had TKA Dec 18, 2019. Now 2 months , my ROM has gone abit, I have constant swelling, burning and nerve pain. The Dr stopped my pain meds Jan 6th, still have a lot of pain, throbbing, swelling and now burning. He’s more concerned with numbers, the PT I went to was cruel. I missed about 6 days due to either the weather or being sick/ vomiting or diarrhea. I go to PT twice a week, she says I’m doing great, that it’s a long process, and not to give up. I see his PA this week to get something for the pain, I was only taking 1 Norco a day. None of this was discussed with me, either by his office or the Dr. I try to take one day at a time but it’s very difficult with the pain and swelling. Thanks for listening !!

I am almost an exact copy of your issues. My ROM is 120 and 0 so I'm good there.The burning and what I call "zingers" from the nerve pain is awful. No more pain meds and I can only take tylenol because of kidney issues. Ice, heat, ecercise, nothing ever helps much. Only twice since the surgery have I had about 10 minutes where there wasn't some kind of pain.
