What can i do to soothe the pain caused by a partial knee replacement i had 8 weeks ago?

Should improve: By 2 months post-op, most partial knee replacements are near pain free. If pain is increasing, then discuss this with your surgeon. The pain source must be identified. Possibilities include joint infection, nerve irritation, hip problems, back problems, etc. Continue to work gentle range of motion of the joint to work out stiffness, but limit standing and walking until pain improves.

Different options: Pain at 8 weeks after a partial knee replacement is not unusual. Post-operative synovitis or surgical inflammation may take 3-4 months to resolve after an uncomplicated partial knee replacement. Pain can be eased with regular icing; a compressive wrap; oral nsaid's such as Ibuprofen or naprosyn; and ongoing rehab with physical therapy. See your orthopaedic surgeon for worsening of pain.
