Burning after total knee replacement

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?

@womenfly Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
It looks like you've already connected with members that are answering your questions and offering support.
May I ask if your provider offered you an anti-nausea patch? I'm not sure this is appropriate for you but they have patched you stick behind your ear sometimes when pain medications induce nausea.
Have you tried ONDANSETRON for the nausea, I used it after surgery and had good luck. People who are going thru chimo use

Hi I had my TKR on 12/15/20. I’m just over 10 weeks. I’m have complications but as far as the oxy it made me sick also but about the only thing that helped the pain . After 2 weeks I got a script of Norco and Motrin to make it through therapy. The Oxy was also raising my blood pressure. That burning sensation is terrible . I suffered with it for a few weeks and used ice. It went away but recently came back for a couple of weeks. I’m not sure what it’s from but wondering if is from intense exercise . Having problems with my bend. I see the surgeon tomorrow. I have lots of questions so I’ll see what he says about that burn . Take care. I’ll update you on info .
