What Could Cause Severe Knee Pain, Have Had Neuropathy And Knee Replacement?
I had a left knee replacement eight yrs. ago. Four yrs. ago I had a ruptured L-5 disc which caused bad Neuropathy in my legs and feet. I had a L-4 & 5 fusion surgery in 2010. In the last few weeks I had severe pain in that left knee for at least 12 hours and then it went away. Could that be the neuropathy pain? My email is YYYY@YYYY . Thank you, Judy Pata

Sir by looking at your history looks it could be because of failed back syndrome effect where recurrent disc prolapse will cause pain r else due to prolonged need rest may cause chances of deep vein thrombosis. Kindly check with color doppler arterial & venous study done along with x ray of spine & knee last but not least check your sugar & vitamins level. Please follow up with orthopaedician for further treatment. Thank you.
