It wasn’t easy nor without a lot of pain & tears. I just got back on my own supply of neuropathy medication, (Clonazepam & Lyrica) though it did take a while. I also was on Tylenol arthritis for my knee, and they also put me on Cymbalta. I’m talking weeks of it intermittently reoccurring for no special reason. I had been off of all neuropathy meds for a total of 5 days, but the pain hit me immediately after knee replacement. It just aggravated my nerves in both legs. I’m sure I was the exception to this surgery, but sadly we have to be our own advocates when in medical settings, and never assume anything.
