Brief Answer:
Curcumin, Transdermal patch
Detailed Answer:
Hi there
Thanks for the query
The common cause of pain after knee replacement us usually weak bones or Osteoporosis and loosening of the implant.
I would recommend you get an Xray of birth the knees to rule this out.
You can take diet with Turmeric or Curcumin which is a natural Antiinflammatory agent. You can also apply a transdermal skin adhesive patch of Bupivacaine called Buvalor which is available with prescription only. This is extremely good for pain relief since it isn't an NSAID but more effective than Tramadol.
Hot fomentation and physiotherapy to strengthen the VMO and Quadriceps are important.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
