pains behind knee rear of leg 3 months after surgery
« on: September 24, 2012, 08:38:40 AM »
hy
any one suffering the this type of pain behinh the leg in back of knee and into shin and upper thigh bone
every thing seemed to be going ok with recovery off crutches down to two sticks and power walking small distances.
on routine visit to physio i had felt my leg staring to stiffen in knee joint and when laying down the joint would click when you moved your leg from side to side .
the pains are now more prominent around my knee with really bad burning pains into my upper and lower leg !but no swelling i thhought about DVT but as i have had one befofre i could see  no sign of this but the pains are now getting worse and now going up the stairs makes my knee really ache and it feels like its pulling everything thats in there to make it bend .
replys would be helpfull  :-\

Me !!!!   I had a tkr three months ago and on 11-5-2012 had a lateral injection on the side of my knee. On 11-29-2012 had to go to pain management doctor to tell me it was hip bursitis and had a left leg hip socket joint on the outside flank of hip,   ( this was yesterday) my butt hurts but ITB band feels better , back of knee is still kicking up issues when sitting or sleeping.   The doctor at pain management sending me for 4 weeks of PT  and said 20 mins of ice and switch to 20 mins of heat to work with pain .  Guess the switching opens and closes pain receptors.  My two cents get cortisone !! stop pain!!! check hips
