How Can Severe Pain In The Knees Be Treated?

I had partial knee replacement. All good, got pain block out, came home and I have pain like a pulled groin muscle. I can hardly move my leg because of this. I expected pain in knee but have this other pain. I wanted to concentrate on my knee exercises, which I could barely due, then thought maybe I shouldn t. What should I do?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
