A member asked:
What causes burning pain in the knee, lower leg after having arthroscopic knee surgery 1 week ago? is this normal? scar tissue removal under patella?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scar tissue: It is possible that after having the arthroscopic surgery burning discomfort could be as a result of them having placed a steroid medication in your knee after your surgery. It could also be at the sites where the portals were created causing some burning in the skin during the healing process.
