What Is The Treatment For Pain Behind Knee Cap After Hip Replacement?
I had an anterior mini hip replacement 6 weeks ago. I am still having quite a lot of pain around the wound area (not the wound itself). I have just been advised by physio to start some shallow squats, but I get sharp pain behind the kneecap. What should I do?

Hi
Sharp pain behind the knee cap could be a referred pain or due to direct involvement of knee joint. Take pain killers and start exercises as suggested. Get an X ray of knee to grossly rule out any knee pathology. Your pain around the hip is likely to reduce over a period of time.
