I am now 20 months post TKR and I am now getting a stinging pain through my knee cap!

The scar also appears to be stinging, has anybody else had this or know what it is?

    The kneecap thing? I have no idea. The scar thing, however, could be nerves re-growing, they take a while to do that after an op. When the scar is stinging gently drum your fingertips on the afected area, this stimulates the nerves and helps the re-growth. DD

    Morning, :grin:

    Sorry I can't help but I do hope things settle down soon.
    If it is causing you problems I would go see your gp, hopefully he will help.

    Take care

    If in doubt, get it checked out but I think DD's right. I had something similar after at least one of mine. The nerves can take a long time to get back to normal. I was told to gently rub the scar.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    it all got worse today, I woke up and my hands are all stiif/tight and my wrists and feet are painful.

    I have been told i have OA, but it may be something else playing up as well?

    Hi Zec

    I cannot help you with your questions but I just wanted to say that I enjoy perusing your blog every now and again to see what you are up to and the photos too.

    Chin up, I admire your achievements. :smile:
