How Can Severe Knee Pain After Knee Replacement Surgery Be Treated?

I had a knee replacement in 2010 and 6 years later I am still in a lot of pain expecially at night. I have gone to three orthopedic doctors and they all say there is nothing wrong. Some days I feel like I am losing my mind because I hurt so bad. I have been on tramadol ever since my surgery and this bothers me that I am having to depend upon it. I have to take percoset at night just to get sleep. I am at the end of my rope. I don t know where to do or what to do.

Hello,

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
