Damage from Iovera Nerve block prior to TKR

Just reading the updates and came across this. My experience with Iovera was not a wooden leg feeling. In fact, everything except my knee was numbed. The procedure itself was not that painful, it was and is what I am experiencing now. Burning pain, muscle pain, just generally painful where I expected it to be numb. I did not have the surgery due to another reason and I didn't know I wasn't having it until the day after Iovera treatment. So I am still suffering from the painful effects of the Iovera. I hear it works for some people, for me it would have just been a painful addition to the surgery. It is a chance people take but I would never do it again.

I was researching Iovera reviews to see if it was something that would help with knee pain. These reviews are not encouraging. I had TKR in 2009 and again in 2019…on the same knee! Didn’t use the same surgeon because I was in so much pain after the first replacement I’m still in pain with that knee and now my “good” knee is hurting. I take 4 Percocet daily and they don’t do much for pain anymore. I’m so over it…
