Side Effects Of Total Knee Replacement Surgery
My wife had a total knee replacement surgery about 4 weeks on LH side. She had high blood pressure (140/80) prior to surgery which could be controlled by use of medication. After surgery the BP has shot up further (165/92) and is not being lowered by use of med. She has burning sensation in her LH foot as well for last 3 weeks. Is it common for BP to go up afer the surgery? Also is it burning sensation in the foot common after the surgery?

BP may remain high if the patient has persistent pain but not to worry it will be corrected as time passes. please take physician advice if Medicine has to be altered as per the need.
burning sensation in the foot is not related to knee surgery. it needs evaluation if it is persistent. TC
