Knee replacement surgery has brought relief and mobility to millions of patients worldwide. However, in some cases, despite a technically successful operation, patients continue to experience knee pain, swelling, or difficulty walking. Ignoring these symptoms as “normal” can be dangerous. Senior orthopedic specialists at EMC Hospital, Amritsar – Dr. Ajay Abrol, Dr. Kulpreet, and Dr. Prabhjot – emphasize that post-surgery knee pain can stem from several causes and requires timely intervention.
According to the doctors, there are multiple reasons for persistent pain after knee replacement. Common causes include infection, improper placement of the implant, nerve damage, muscle weakness, or joint stiffness. In many cases, patients fail to follow prescribed physiotherapy or rehabilitation protocols properly, which can worsen the pain or lead to complications. Additionally, excess body weight or an abnormal walking pattern can also contribute to recurring discomfort.
If knee pain, swelling, warmth or redness around the joint, difficulty walking, or a burning sensation accompanied by high fever persists even 3–4 weeks after surgery, these may be warning signs. Consulting a specialist immediately is crucial. With proper diagnosis and timely treatment, patients can avoid further complications and maintain a high quality of life.
