Top 10 Reasons For Chronic Pain After A Knee Replacement
If you're still having chronic pain after a knee replacement, you're not alone.
Upto 20% of people don't get as much relief from their knee replacement as they had hoped to.
Here are the top 10 reasons why people continue having knee pain even 1 to 5 years after a knee replacement.
1 - Lacking Knee Extension
After a knee replacement, it's crucial to straighten your knee promptly. Focus on quad strength too, not just bending.
2 - Weak Glutes
Build glute strength for balanced hip and knee muscles post-surgery. I'm Dr. Dave, an orthopedic manual physical therapist.
3 - Stiff Calves
Stiff calves hinder proper walking. Compensating by twisting the knee can lead to inner knee, hip, and foot pain.
4 - Hip & Foot Pain
Knee collapsing inward causes chronic pain. Don't ignore persistent discomfort; address it for better long-term outcomes.
5 - Pes Anserine Tendons:
Inner shin pain may arise from three muscles attaching to the inner knee. Consider the saffron nerve and femoral nerve involvement.
6 - Saphenous Nerve
Post-surgery, the saphenous nerve may not heal correctly, causing chronic pain. Ensure proper nutrition for optimal recovery.
7 - Improper Nutrition
Nutrition matters post-knee replacement. Give your body the proteins and nutrients it needs for effective recovery.
8 - Weak Foot Muscles
Strengthen toe-curling muscles; they impact knee, hip, and back alignment. Don't overlook foot muscle strength for a solid foundation.
9 - Anxiety & Depression
Address anxiety and depression to manage pain perception. Counseling or talking to a trusted person can be beneficial.
10 - Stiff Quad Muscles
Massaging stiff quad muscles aids knee flexibility. Overused muscles can contribute to chronic knee pain; take care of them.
