<human>: I had knee replacement on 5/13. I continue to have the most horrible pain. Walking good, still having PT 3 times a week. Can not sleep at night. The pain is continuous and truly alike a nagging tooth ache. .Nothing seems to touch the pain. Quit with narcotics but, they never helped. Any suggestions????
<bot>: Hello, Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, the pain has lessened by a month afterward.  The first thing would be checking for some disaster. X-rays and just whether the knee bends would rule out most problems. Certainly, aspirin-like Chat Doctor.  Also, warm soaks and actually deep water like a swimming pool puts pressure on the whole area and lowers swelling. If it works, physical therapy with a pool--called aqua therapy is often very good. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
