My partner had a total knee replacement 4 months ago and is now experiencing a stinging/burning sensation on his kneecap near the scar. This is causing him a lot of pain and hindering his walking. Do you know what this could be and if you do is there anyway of easing it for him. Thank you.
That can be a sign of neuroma formation meaning a superficial nerve that supplies sensation to the skin is cut during the surgeries not a complication, and sometimes it cannot be avoided during the surgery procedure what you have is this infrapatellar branch of saphenous nerve injury after total knee arthroplasty pregabalin 75 mg once a day this is specifically for nerve pain can be tried but sometimes it can cause mild sleepiness
