I would not recommend Iovera for any reason, and I wish that I had not had the procedure done 3 weeks prior to my RTKR. The pain from the actual knee surgery was minor and manageable compared to the debilitating pain with no treatment options as the nerves are regenerating the length of my leg. Anything that touches it sends waves of pain through my body (clothing, bedding, water, even hands). Medical opinions: "this could take months to a year."
The glossy brochures and professional recommendations didn't tell the whole story, at least for me. Never again.
