Thanks for your response. The term “Known Complication” has been used by numerous professionals. I guess my issue there is I wish I was given that information prior to my surgery. My orthopedic Dr did say he doesn’t discuss it with pts because it’s rare. Oddly enough when I was fitted with my brace that professional stated he sees it quite frequently.
How do we know how frequent these complications occur when they don’t have to be reported to anyone?
My 2nd EMG was discontinued mid-stream because he said it
“ served no purpose “ the nerve damage below my knee was severe and the worst he’d ever seen- really bad luck .
Back to recovery conversation is there anything that you are aware of for my freezing foot or reducing the sensation of being rock hard ?
I go through 3 batteries a day as I refuse not be active even in winter 🙂

@clange921 If you have severe nerve damage, I think it might qualify as Neuropathy. We have a support group for that:

Perhaps you can ask your question there, maybe titling your discussion "Nerve Damage and Cold foot after hip replacement"
