Pain After Knee Replacement Surgery

Pain After Knee Replacement Surgery

Take prescribed medicines according to your doctor's instructions.

Attend Follow-Up Appointments

Follow-up allows your surgeon to assess healing, movement, stability, and overall recovery.

Avoid High-Impact Activities Without Clearance

Running, jumping, and other high-impact activities may place additional stress on the replacement joint. Discuss any demanding activity with your surgeon before returning to it.

Pain After Knee Replacement vs Normal Recovery Discomfort

Normal Recovery Discomfort

Pain That Needs Evaluation

Gradually improves

Gets progressively worse

Mild swelling after activity

Significant or increasing swelling

Temporary soreness after exercise

Severe pain unrelated to activity

Stiffness that improves with rehabilitation

Increasing loss of movement

Mild incision tenderness

Wound discharge or increasing redness

Improves with prescribed treatment

Does not improve or suddenly worsens

This distinction is not a diagnosis. If you are concerned about your recovery, contact your surgical team.

When Should You Contact Your Orthopaedic Surgeon?

Contact your surgeon if your pain is:

  • Getting worse instead of better
  • Preventing sleep or daily activities
  • Associated with increasing swelling
  • Accompanied by fever
  • Associated with wound discharge
  • Associated with calf pain
  • Accompanied by instability
  • Persisting despite appropriate rehabilitation

A specialist evaluation can help determine whether the discomfort is part of normal recovery or requires further investigation.
