Burning after total knee replacement

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

@pat20 I had a lot of pain after my last TKR in October 2017. Like yours, it was not immediate but shortly after. It lasted somewhere between 4 to 6 weeks and then got better very quickly. During that time my surgeon took xrays and was seeing me regularly. He was concerned also. We were both very happy when I was suddenly virtually pain-free. I hope yours will lift as mine did. If not then I hope your surgeon will see you again and try to figure out the problem.
