Concerns about my pain

[Jenith12]

5 mo out from TKR still having lots of pain daily have an factory type job lots of pressure on the knee and Dr. Cant continue with pain meds due to opiate laws getting strict and I am highly allergic to ALL NSAIDS which is so awful!! 2 yrs ago I had the opposite knee done pain was way gone after 3 mo. Any advice?

Is it surgical pain? Nerve pain? I am 8 months post partial knee replacement. I complained from one month of pain that was not surgical. At 5 months I was started on gabapentin for nerve pain. It has helped

I don't think it's surgical pain because it's not actually on my knee it's more on the sides of my knee and down my calf so maybe it is nerve pain maybe I should make another appointment and see what they say thank you for sharing

Welcome. After months of pain that knew wasnot surgical pain I finally got fed up and spoke up quite assertively. My pain was really bad at night and I am numb from knee to ankle on medial side ( I had PKR on medial side). Good luck to you!
