Burning after total knee replacement

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.

As far as I know they replaced all. Took other part completely out and put new one in. I have talk to nurse. No explanation. The doctor is only there one day a week. See him this week. I finally went to sleep after being up for almost two nights straight. Still hurting today. It burns, tight, feels like pins and needles. Pain meds are not helping. It hurt so bad last night wanted to go to hospital. Hospital is over a hour away or I would probably had my fiancée take me. I am wondering if it’s the nerves. I do have some nerve damage in both legs. More in other leg than right one they did surgery on. Maybe I will find out something next week. Thank You
