Yes ,yes and yes. Had right total knee replacement in July 2023. On the way home (same day of surgery) my right foot had a weird sensation,like a gradual pulling feeling. My husband had to pull over so I could stand up to relieve the pressure. It felt like I had two socks balled up under my heel and ball of my foot. If I stood the gradual pressure would come. I had to stay off of my foot for a week. My big toe and little toe felt like a band was tight around them with tingling, my outside of the foot was numb,the heel was and still is numb.My surgeon and PT stated it will take months to a year to resolve. I do not take med's for it but 8 months later it has toned down intensity,but still there. If it does not get any better I could live with this. Hopefully it will resolve completely.

Hi, I recently had a revision replacement and my knee has done great, but the foot pain and numbness is almost unbearable. I was finally prescribed gabarpentin and it helps but not with the numbness.
