Hi- I started searching on Google about knee pain and burning after Total Knee Replacement. I am 13 weeks post op and have completed 3 PT sessions every week but have had much stiffness and burning pain increasing over the last 5 weeks. I was supposed to have the other knee done at the 12 week mark but was afraid to do it considering how my left knee was doing. My surgeon agreed I needed more healing even tho financially it would have been fantastic to get it done as we were at the 100% paid by insurance status for any remaining covered expenses for 2024. I am wanting to ask you how you are doing now and if the pain did subside, how long after the surgery did you finally feel better? Thank you.
Yes, joint replacement often surprises us with how many things can hurt and how long full recovery can take. And it is different for each of us - and even between surgeries on the same person.
Can you describe your self-care routine at home? How many times a day are you doing your exercises? How is your range of motion - is it progressing? Do you still elevate your leg and ice when it you are sitting?
Does the location or type of the burning sensation change fron day to day? This is often the feeling of nerves repairing and regenerating and can last for several weeks to a few months.
It's been 11 months since I had. Knee replacement. I do the strengthening exercise 3 times a week from my therapist and ride my bicycle 5 to 6 days a week for 20 minutes. Walk about 4 times a week. Yet I am experiencing soreness, tingling pain sleepless nights

Thank you for responding. I do strengthening exercising once per day, 3 times per week. I ride my bicycle 6 days a week in the morning. And I walk 6 days a week in the evening. Range of motion is 110. I massage twice a day to help alleviate the stiffness and soreness. I don't elevate and ice. I do use heat. The burning sensation is mostly in the same area. It is truly a challenge! Walking on it and going up stairs. Joan
