Numbness and burning after knee replacement

I am 4 months out. I have the same and am told it is just the nerves regenerating. I have a pretty big area of numbness (maybe 4x4) on the outside of my knee. I “drum” on that daily to desensitize it and it seems to help. They say after a year, things will get more normal.

I also have a large area of numbness in the area of the incision, but the "burning" is my concern. ( it's as if someone is placing a heat lamp on my skin intermittently) I'm not too concerned about the numbness, as this happens to almost everyone.
