What Causes Burning Sensation In Knees, Stomach And Back After Total Knee Replacement?

Iam a woman of 61years and has had total knee replacement in both knees due to Rh Athritis. The pain has reduced,but my body especially the in the skin around knees,legs,stomach and back ,I feel real fire.I also developed Shingles due to an use of Dexa because of pain I had before surgery. I take 75mg of Pregabalin every night,but I don t want to get hooked to it as it only helps me to sleep,but does not remove the problem.Please advise.

Surgery is a stress factor and stress can cause feldspar of shingles as well. You need to wait till it subsides and also you can take the respective treatment for shingles from your Dermatologist. Ice the painful areas for relief.
