I am glad to hear Mayo will see him for this-I am going on 9 months after surgery and continue to have a numb leg from mid calf to mid thigh plus awful “zingers” nerve pain every day frequently. I wish so hard I never had the IOVERA done. I truly think this is all permanent-I would love to hear what Mayo has to say-if there is any kind of treatment for this etc. I feel for your hubby-we got these knee replacements to be better…

Yes this was the first actual surgery my husband has ever had and we wish we would not have had it done either, but we did not know and surgeon said it would help and be the best thing to do so we listened to our surgeon....We so hope that Mayo can help and there is a waiting list to get in but we are accepted so we just wait. Excited to go here as best place to get care and healing from the pain. So glad all of these posts are on the Mayo website and we are not alone and we truly believe help is on the horizon when we see Mayo. For now, he will have to take his gabapentin and duloxetine and we will patiently wait. Have a good day. I hope you can find some help also.
