In this Video, Dr Sunil G Kini, Consultant Joint Replacement Arthroscopic surgeon talks about pain and inflammation in knees after surgery and ways to reduce them. Dr Sunil is one of the Best Orthopedic Surgeon in Bangalore at Manipal Hospitals. 

He explains that pain and inflammation in knees after surgery is normal and it is important to explain to the patients that pain is normal and can exist up to 3 months. Inflammation is also normal and it can exist up to 6 months after the surgery and in some patients up to a year.

One the methods suggested to relieve the pain is icing. Icing reduces pain considerably. Compression stocking was advised to patients usually post-surgery. If the patient does not walk as required post surgery, they are assessed for the Deep Vein thrombosis and advised to wear the compression stocking. These are worn above or below the knee and helps reduce the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis. He added that icing must be done rather than heating to reduce the pain.
