Hi after a right total knee replacement 6 weeks ago and problems finding I was allergic to all heavy duty painkillers so could only take paracetamol I now still have extremely unpleasant burning pain down my inner thigh back of calf and into my foot Could it be a result of tourniquet?
Finding rehab on my knee very difficult

Hi @lindalockie, You mentioned a tourniquet. Was one used during the surgery? I'm in week 3 post op and my care team has told me that controlling the pain was job one and rehab exercises job two. Are you able to discuss your pain with the doctor?
