What Causes Severe Pain Upon Bending The Knees?
I had tkr about 7 weeks ago. At 5 weeks I could bend my knee 120 degrees. Started about 5 and a 1/2 ago the pain started in the lateral area. It comes and goes. One minute I can bend my knee the next minute the pain is so bad I am lucky to bend 15 degrees. My knee is continuing to get worse. Most of the time in the last 5 days I can t bend it , maybe 5-10 degrees. I have searched on line and can t find an answer. Do you have any ideas Skip,

Hello,
It can be due to the early stage of arthritis.
As a first line management, you can try analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
