Burning after total knee replacement

I have had my TKR 4 weeks ago and I'm having such burning sensation on the inside beside my knee. It feels worse with doing the excercises. The knee itself has no pain and I'm walking good. But that burning!! I feel it happened when I have tried to get out of bed. I pushed myself with the operated leg to turn round.
I hope I have not pulled the muscle. So doing the excercises is rather not helping at all. I'm out of painkillers as well. And it is weekend. I only have paracetamol but they don't help at all. Im really having an unbearable time tonight. I have rubbed Vic's vapo rub in the muscle which helps for a little while. Good luck to all my fellow sufferers. I guess it's still early days for me

perks,

Vicks isn't going to help. Try Bio-Freeze if it's a muscle.

Are you sure it's not from the tourniquet they put on your upper thigh during surgery? Weird that this would be a problem though 4 weeks out.
