Peripheral Neuropathy after total knee replacement

How long has it been since his knee surgery? Did he do extensive physical therapy? Has he had any post surgery testing/imaging done?
He may benefit from having a MRI and seeing a neurologist for EMG/nerve conduction study of his lower limbs. He could have nerve damage or vascular claudication.

He had PT, MRI, EMG, etc. They are finally sending him to Pain Specialist. He has pain- lightning/fire pain from foot to hip and a crushing feeling in his new knee. They could not find anything. They are just saying that he will have to live with it. I have watched him when he gets in pain. He started drinking because pain meds do not work on him. He has not had one good day since his surgery in August of last year.
