Hi @lindalockie - Welcome to Connect! I'm so sorry to hear that you are still having that burning pain after 6 weeks. I had a TKR in January so I'm about 12 weeks out now. I've heard of a number of people who have pain for weeks and then just have it disappear - and others who have it gradually dwindle down to less and less. Are you still doing your physical therapy? Does your therapist recommend anything for relief?

Hi Debbra all I have been offered so far is pregabalin which makes me very groggy Am still managing to do the physical therapy but as a public patient who lives in a rural area in Australia I have to do it by myself Not a lot of support Have to rely on my local GP who has sent me for a CT Spine Thank you hope you continue to improve
