Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I had arthoscopic surgery on my knee on the 27th, the stitches are burning off and on and i still have extreme pain when i try to put weight on it. I was told not to remove the bandages and dressing till my office visit on the 12th of July... Is the burning normal 3 days after the surgery
Thank you for your question on HCM. Pain and burning sensation at the site of surgery is normal because the wound is still healing.the knee being a weight bearing joint ,you should b careful to not put weight on your knee for upto two weeks atleast post surgery.you can engage in light movements at your knee joint sufficient enough to prevent any contractures(slightly move your joints)the pain should subside in a few days.hope this information was useful. regards, Dr.radhika
