@abmjr @dke7 @jetter and @jmacvol have had a similar experience with a burning sensation after knee replacements and may be able to share their experience with you.

Have you been back to your surgeon or care team to discuss your symptoms and possible treatments or therapy?

I had a TKR last November, and after one year the burning went away. Ice and Voltaren Gel helped with the burning. I still have numbness on the outside of my knee and swelling. My Therapist says the swelling may not ever go completely away. I will schedule a visit with the surgeon this month to discuss. I am also considering acupuncture. The ligaments supporting my knee were stretched out, so would not stabilize the artificial knee, so I also have intramedullary rods. You just never know how it will turn out. I am glad I had only one knee done.

Well 3 years. Tried all types of pills and rubs. Results erratic. Makes you uncomfortable about trusting the knee. Met a man who had 10 ops in one knee. As with me, taking co-codamol 30mg500 along with Ibuprofen 400 for pain, and muscle relief cream. Helps but still have episodes.
