Burning after total knee replacement

Find a new surgeon. Look for someone in their late 30s, early 40s. They are very active in their profession, up on the latest developments, and have been surgeons for around 5 to 10 years. They make the best surgeons. Do not go to someone in their 50s or 60s. They make great PCPs but lousy surgeons.
All the best friend.

I disagree with the comment about not going to a surgeon in their late 50s or 60s. My surgeon is in that age range and is the one the RNs and some doctors go to for their replacements. He continues to educate himself and his staff. My knee is fantastic at 3 months PO...knock on wood. Best of luck with your recovery.

Thanks for that advice. The surgeon that did mine is in his late 50's maybe 60. The new one I got referred to came in and said I hear your here to get a do over. I am like Nooo!!! I am here cause I hurt and my leg looks deformed. I have never ever said do this over.
He said well think about it til Feb. That's a year from your surgery and call if you want it done over. He is maybe 40. I left shocked. My husband which is very quite came out and told me, He acted like a child. I drove 2 hours for that. Ugh.
