Post-TKR 11 Weeks - Numb, Heavy, Pain

I am almost 10 weeks post op with my TKR. I still have numbness on the outer part of my knee to the middle. My PT said ot is because they cut through nerves during the surgery. I am told the nerves will regenerate itself and grow back. When they start growing back there will be some tingling. I still have pain when I got a while and then have to get up. I am told that is normal and it will get better over time. Still have stiffness. Also told it will eventually go away

If your ROM is as expected, it sounds like your recovery is going very well. I am 2 years post TKR. Still have some numbness on the outside of the knee. I was told it may never go away completely, but I never notice the numbness. At only 10 weeks post op TKR, stiffness and pain when getting up to a standing position after sitting for awhile is normal for many months. All “normal “ issues should improve over time - and will unless there is a problem.
