Suggest Pain Revilers Post Knee Replacement

Had full knee replacement 4 weeks ago. Cant sleep night through, getting up 3 to 4 times with burning stinging pain. On arising in a.m., leh is stiff as a board. Going to phys therapy 3 times a week. Still icing alot. Anything to alleviate burning stinging pain beside pain pills, which take every 12 hours with 1 tylenol. Pain pill is dilaudid, take 2 with the tylenol.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The location and movement of a pain gives clues as to what is going on, also the type. There could be inflammation. this could be from infection and that would be bad, but nearly always it seems infected if this occurs with fever, chills, shakes, sweats, and the area is HOT. Or it can be inflammation in which case naproxen is generally good. The burning can also be due to a nerve inflammation in which case, nerve pills such as anti=epileptics can be helpful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
