I have it too did you find out anything, its horrible and hurts

Hi Bedalia, I made a trip to Dr., he thinks it is nerve damage, also tenntinitus, sorry about spelling. What is minisectomy?? Terr

I just had knee surgery 3 weeks ago and I'm suffering not
only with the pain of the knee surgery, but an added bonus discomfort came upon
me is the feeling of burning skin on my inner thigh area. I was told by my
therapist that it is due to nerves being cut during surgery and that now they
are healing themselves. It's quite painful and I hope it goes away. Anyone else have this happen shortly after knee replacement surgery?

My husband had this after one of his knee replacements..It does go away, but it takes time...Take each healing session by the week and not by the days...It does help...Good luck...

Thanks Caroline!!

I too had a knee replacement on August 5th 09, The burning from my thigh to nearly my ankle was so painful, I cannot put on pants, nor can stand a sheet to touch it..Bumps in the car, also just put me in tears..I visited the emergency room tonight due to this, And was told by the doc. that this is "Neuopathty", due the doctor damaging a nerve during the surgery, and there is no cure...He referred me to the local pain clinic, and was told that this is my only option..The doctor that preformed the surgery told me he had to manually stretch my nerves cause they were so tight....I am just livid over this knowing I have to live with this the rest of my life....I am 51..

Hello,
I just had a right total knee replacement on 10/05/09 I have the same thing as you but also tingel sensations and deep muscle pain in my calf. I have a appointment this Tues with a Neuro doc to see whats going on, I had a MRI last week it came back fine (or so they say)any way I had a femoral pain block and I think the anethesiologist injected the catherter right into my nerve.doc said it is neuro damage just doesn't understand what happened.so I will let you know as soon as I go to the neuro doc.
feel better
