Jan. 21. 13 had total knee replacement & 12 weeks later had manipulation because of too much scar tissue. of my right knee am still having problems with knee. Doc says am ok. he'll see me in 1 yr. Had bladder infection, went to urologist had ct scan, everything ok there, but knee & feet still swollen am having problems walking & my knee feels scratchy like sand was in there.& thigh feel gummy or numb. Recently I started getting like a gummy feeling in my lower back and had numb or gummy sensation that was preventing me from having a bowel movement. Never had something like this. would appreciate any input.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The mild pain in the knee is commonly seen for at least 6-8 weeks after a knee replacement surgery. Pain killers, hot fomentation and regular physiotherapy will help in restoring the full range of movement. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
