Damage from Iovera Nerve block prior to TKR

I'm sorry to hear this! I actually cancelled my TKR that was scheduled for 9/10. I started doing my own exercises daily/and cortisone/red light therapy, etc. Yes, I realize that is just a 'bandaid,' but so hoping that new things will come up that will make the recovery of TKR a bit easier! I hope you get through this with as little discomfort as possible! I was hoping that Iovera would work when I do have a TKR, but have to consider the good/bad of it! Thanks and good luck to you!

I"m with you on that. I have been watching videos on youtube (mixed blessing) but one thing I have been doing is exercising the glute muscles. I can do 10 reps before I get out of bed in the morning and that eases and sometimes eliminates my knee pain for a while. I too am waiting for new developments in TKR and for me, it is not Iovera. Cortisone also does nothing for me but I have heard quite a bit about red light therapy, I will look into that more.
