Knee: It depends on what kind of knee surgery you had done,if you had a total knee replacement this is not an uncommon thing, if you had arthroscopy again this is not uncommon as sometimes the tissues are swollen and inflamed and can cause soft tissue inflammation in the irritation which can cause pressure on the nerve of structures causing the symptoms you are experiencing. This should go away within oif you had a total knee replacement this is not an uncommon thing, if you had arthroscopy again this is not uncommon as sometimes the tissues are swollen and inflamed and can cause soft tissue inflammation in the irritation which can cause pressure on the nerve of structures causing the symptoms you are experiencing. This should go away within 1 to 2 weeks time.
