I am at 6 weeks. Mine was a recall from 4 years 7 months ago on the part they put in. The tightest and burning still has me in tears some days even with pain meds and muscle relaxer. PT says it’s my quad. ROM is at 116. Straighten it out. Flexibility is at 0. Have only slept all night 4 nights in last 6 weeks. Have been up all night last night.Was up by 5 am yesterday morning with no naps. How do you make the tightest and burning go away ? I cannot even drive yet.

Very strange given ROM at 116 and extension at zero. Those are good numbers at 6 weeks.

Did you have tightness and burning before? What part of the prosthesis was replaced - tibial, femoral, patellar?

Until this gets resolved, try the Hurt Skurt available on Amazon to ice the whole knee.

Otherwise I'm stumped by this. What does your surgeon say and how do the post-op X-rays look?

Get better friend. I wish I had more to tell you.
