Neuropathy in my right foot has gotten much worse since I had a right TKR. Have you heard that can be a result of the TKR?

I have heard that but my last TKR doctor didn't mention it. I now have it in both feet. The other foot has had 4 ankle fusions and that's why I have the neuropathy in it. Also, the 2 pinched nerves in my back add to it.

I'm so grateful someone invented the rollator. It keeps me steady when I walk. Also, the neuropathy isn't painful very often. How about yours?

I hadn’t heard it and dr said surgery didn’t impact it but mine is worse also.

I have needed a TKR for 2 years now, and it's finally scheduled for February 11th. I now have neuropathy in both feet that is as severe as (sometimes more so) the pain in my knees, which are bone on bone from the last MRI in April 2024. My pain management provider feels it is a result of limping around on 2 bad knees.

What helps the neuropath in your feet? I am on pregablin, and lamotrigine, which help some and oxy at times. As is true with chronic pain, nothing takes pain 100% away-but I am interested in something that will provide relief, as there is always room for improvement.
