Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain Despite Having A Knee Replacement Surgery

I had a total knee replacement June 2015, I haven,t had any pain in this area until this week 2/23 is when pain began. I haven t done any strenuous exercises or excessive walking. I have been so please that I haven’ had any problems until now. I have reviewed any changes of foods, or meds. I have started taking B12, 1000mg. I am really puzzled why this pain has started.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I am happy to hear that you did not feel any pain in your knee since you had replacement surgery. Although you do not recall any strenuous exercise or excessive walking, it might happen that a few changes could have run inside your replaced knee. MRI of the knee is the best diagnostic test to determine the right diagnosis. So, I highly recommend to consult with your orthopedic surgeon and get your knee checked out. Apply analgesic cream. Alternating cold and warm compresses can help.

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