← Return to Foot neuropathy (numbness and pain) after total knee replacement (TKR)

I had TKR surgery in Sep 2022, and in Aug 2023, so both knees. It has now (Aug 2024) been a year since my second surgery. It has been only recently that I have no neuropathy or any numbness in my feet. After the last surgery, when I mentioned the numbness, they gave me a low dose of Gabapentin to take and I did take it for a little while. Then, I let it go and lived with the numbness. It’s gone. It went away on its own but it took a long time, nearly the full year since the last surgery. It never was painful and it never prevented me from my physical therapy, walking and recovery.

So happy for you.
I had TKR November 2022 on left knee and ended up with painful numb foot.
Just had TKR August 2024 on right knee. Everything is ok with right foot.
Just got booked for November 2024 tarsal tunnel release on left ankle.
Did you get a nerve block for your knee replacements?
