Pains Post Op Oxford Partial Knee Replacement Posted: 11-12-07 20:40pm
I had surgery 2 weeks ago. I fell on day
3 in my bathroom and landed on my knee,
full weight. I thought I had torn the
whole thing lose inside my knee. Upon
xray, it looked like everything was still
in place.
Since that fall, I have pain on my side
joint. It comes and goes and is a
burning, searing pain. There is also
sporadic pain in my inside thigh area that
feels like someone is twisting that
muscle. It radiates to my shin bone and
the skin feels like it is crawling. It
last about 10 seconds and then dissipates.
I have an area on my outer joing that is
numb about 12 inches down my leg.
Although is numb feeling, the slightest
pressure such as just rubbing lightly,
causes nerve pain. I don't know if this
may be nerves cut at the incision or could
it be caused from the Nerve block that
they used at the femoral area. They used
pivocaine, I think in the block.
I just don't know what pains are normal to
experience and I always fear that I will
have the worst outcome with things. I am
definitely not a GOOD Patient!!!
