How Can Severe Knee Pain After Knee Replacement Surgery Be Treated?
Hello, As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and plan for an MRI scan to rule out ligament or tendon injury. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
