Suggest Treatment For Chronic Inflammation After Total Knee Replacement

Can be due to many causes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Persistent pain 4 years after total knee replacement can be due to neuropathic pain, internal scarring (arthrofibrosis), loosening of the prosthesis, patellofemoral instability, postoperative stiffness, etc. A direct clinical examination and investigations like CT scan and arthroscopy are needed to identify the exact cause. The treatment usually involves pain killers under guidance of a pain therapist, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, etc.
You need to consult your surgeon for proper diagnosis and further management.
I hope this answers your query.
