Burning sensation

I had a TKR 6 weeks ago and am doing really well. No limp. Walking normally. Still a bit swollen and some numbness.But I have been given the go ahead to get back to my normal routine with activity so all in all am very pleased.  But I'm wondering if anyone who has had a knee replacement has a burning sensation in the knee. It's not really pain - just a bit  uncomfortable. I can't describe it any better than a burning sensation. Just wondering if this is weird or pretty common.

    Hi, I am just 3 weeks out from TKR, I have quite a bit of numbness and some burning sensation in knee and lower leg, hoping it goes away soon.

      Good to know. Let me know if it continues as you approach 6 weeks out.
