knee pain after TKR
by nanny06, Feb 17, 2009 03:15PM
I had total knee replacement in April of 2007 and continue to have a nagging pain in the knee area as well as it stays slightly swollen all the time. The pain is a burning and stinging sensation and is made worse when I try to walk any length of time. Therefore, I don't get much exercise. The pain subsides with rest at night but when arisinig in the morning it's back and still swollen. Due to the swelling the knee doesn't bend as far as it should. My therapy after surgery went very good and I was able to master all the exercises that the PT wanted me to do. As time went on it seems to have gotten worse. I had a nerve test done and they said there was not nerve damage. What could be the problem and where do I need to go to get it taken care of. I'm 65 and have always been very ative and am not ready to give up but welcome relief.

I have not had a knee replaced but hope someone here who has will write to you. You might also post in the orthopedics forum as I know they talk about joint replacements there as well.
