    TKR Numb & Painful Foot

    Update on my 2nd TKR. My surgeon took some extra precautions to try and prevent neuropathy of the second foot. He didn't use a tourniquet during the procedure & the first 2 days he kept a pillow under my knee. It was a success. No neuropathy! Surgery went well & at 6 1/2 weeks my only complaint...

    TKR Numb & Painful Foot

    Wanted to update my foot numbness/pain. I'm 15 months post op. Still loving my knee but the foot not so much. There has been no improvement. And just found out I'm having my other knee replaced on Dec 4. I recently tore the meniscus on both sides and the pain is awful, now bone on bone. Not...

    TKR Numb & Painful Foot

    @skigirl thank you for your input. The only shoes I have been able to wear since my surgery is a pair of slip on open back sneakers that I own. Went online looking to buy extra pairs & they don't make them anymore. I've also tried buying gel inserts to put in my other shoes with no luck. Even...

    TKR Numb & Painful Foot

    Wanted to update. Almost 7 mths post op. LOVE my new knee. Foot numbness & pain hasn't improved at all. Doc/Specialists have no answers. After doing my own research I found info about a study done sounding exactly like what I'm experiencing. The condition is called Post Operative Inflammatory...

    TKR Numb & Painful Foot

    Update: I saw my surgeon. He arranged appointments with two of his colleagues. Both Orthopaedic's, one a foot specialist (10/29), and one a spine specialist (11/8). I'm giving Neurontin a try again. It was prescribed to me while I was at PT rehab but stopped because it didn't work.
