Damage from Iovera Nerve block prior to TKR

It’s been over a year since I had the IOVERA and the surgery. I am still having nerve pain every day and still numb from mid calf to mid thigh. My knee itself is doing pretty good but I certainly could do without this constant nerve pain. I regret getting IOVERA big time. I refuse to take meds for it due to potential side effects so I just live with it.

Have you looked in to Neurontin or the new Journavx? I've read that some patients get that before TKR (guess it depends on surgeon) and it's very helpful for the zingers and the nerve pain after TKR.
