Knee Pain and burning post TKR
I underwent TKR of my right knee 2 months back. Am doing my exercises thrice a day and walking for at least 500m everyday.
General pain and burning at the implant area persists. On some days, pain and burning shoots up. Yesterday, burning became very severe and didn't allow me to sleep even for a single minute. Am currently taking Rosiflex Trio 1-0-1 and TP Care 0-0-1. Other pain medications increased belching and finally resorted to TP Care.
Is it normal for pain and burning to increase on some days badly? Other than icing is there anything that can be done to reduce burning? What are the symptoms of any other complication?
Any suggestion for emergency medicine to manage sudden pain or burning?

Since it is only 2 months since your surgery, it is very early days. You are doing well with all the exercises. Continue the exercises and take your painkillers regularly. Also continue the icepacks. On days when you do a lot, the pain may worsen.
