There generally speaking is no pain with anterior unless the nerve is in involved, which unfortunately on my second procedure it was.

Sorry about that June. Even great surgeons can nick a nerve, and the only thing surprising to me is that it doesn't happen more often. I hope you are able to treat it, or that the nerve will somehow revive.

For both knee replacements, the skin on my kneecaps was numb for a good 8-12 months. It wasn't painful or bothersome. Eventually it faded away so I guess some nerves that were turned off by the surgery turned back on.

Again, I hope your situation resolves for the better.

Joe
