Suggest Treatment For Pricking Pain In Knee
Question: I had acl reconstruction a month ago. Now I have feeling burning and pins and needles around knee
Brief Answer:
Can be due to minor nerve irritation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
After an ACL reconstruction, the pins and needles and burning around the knee could be due to a mild swelling around the nerve causing mild nerve irritation or the swelling of the knee itself can cause it.
Keeping the foot raised on two pillows while resting will help to reduce the swelling and the sensation. The sensation should gradually improve on its own.
You can start taking methylcobalamin supplements after consulting with your orthopedician for an earlier relief.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
