Hello @wesallbritton, Welcome to Connect and thank you for your suggestion. Sometimes is seems like a no brainer to talk with the doctor if you are in pain but there are some of us including me that try to tough it out which sometimes makes things worse.
It sounds like your TKR went well. I'm a few months over a year from my right TKR and fortunately did not have much pain but did have a lot of swelling because I didn't do what the care team told me to do - ice and elevate frequently. My frequently was not the same as theirs and at my follow up appointment the surgeon explained what he meant in no uncertain terms 🙂
Did you have any burning or pain after your TKR?

I had a TKR 2 weeks ago (2/9/2021) and am doing pretty well. The Oxycodone made me very nauseous so my doc gave me Tramadol which hasn’t been very effective. I do pretty well during the day, but at night I have burning on the inner side of my knee that only allows me to sleep a couple hours before it wakes me up. I guess it doesn’t bother me as much during the day because I am distracted by other things. It drives me crazy at night! I remove my elastic stockings at night to give my legs a break. The only thing that has brought me any relief is ice packs. Have others experienced this burning sensation and if so, what helped you? Also, what has helped with nausea after taking Oxycodone? I’d love to take a dose before bedtime if that helps but the nausea has stopped me. Thoughts?
