Thank you Howard. As a matter of fact, I did get in to see My Dermatologist today. In 10 minutes He gave Me the run down on the issue. Something The Orthopedic surgeon never took the time to do. I'm trying this topical ointment He ordered called Clobetasol. I pick it up at the Pharmacy tomorrow. Put on twice a day. He says it should Heal it up. It will still leave some scars, but I expect that. we will see how it works. If it will heal up the blisters, I will be happy.

I hope this ointment helps. It's just weird that it happened after a TKR, so there appears be cause/effect going on. I've hand both knees replaced, done a ton of research, and never ran across this. I did have some varicose vein problems behind one knee after surgery, but the vein collapsed and is no longer a problem.
It seems like the blood flow to your lower leg was affected. You might want to have a vein specialist do an ultrasound on your calves to see if there are any problems with the underlying veins. Just a thought. All the best to you!
