Peripheral Neuropathy after total knee replacement

Hi @islandfrog, You mentioned it's been almost a couple of months since your knee replacement and you still have lots of swelling which I'm sure could be adding to your symptoms. I know when I had my TKR, my surgeon hammered me about not icing and elevating my leg enough during my recovery. Are you still icing and elevating the leg frequently every day?

I tend to agree that swelling is probably a contributing factor. I was on blood thinners for 4 weeks but no ice or elevation. I have 3 months of PT and I asked about elevation and they said its not really important.
