Yes: Pain in the upper part of your shin can be normal after knee replacement due to placement of the implant on the shin side of the joint. You should consult with your surgeon for a more thorough discussion to determine whether this is normal and expected shin pain or caused by something more serious like and infection.

Shin pain after TKR: Shin pain is not uncommon during the immediate postoperative period, but should subside. If shin pain develops later down the line, it could be a sign of tibial component loosening.
