Are you still having effects from the Iovera since June? Oh dear, I was told 90 days. I wish I had seen these posts before I had it. I was told there were no negative side effects, only that it might not be that effective. I guess there are some that it works for but I would never try it again.

I cancelled the July 17 surgery
He hit my nerves. 90 days is bs

The 90 days is just an approx time-line for when the frozen nerves start to wake up. I am post-surgery exactly 3 months ago today. About 2/3 of my nerves have woke up. Still have pain & sensitivity. However, have been advised by surgeon & other TKR patients I can expect to have some degree of pain up to a year. So I have buckled up for the ride.
