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.
