Not certain who is or was on Gabapetin. However dosage of 150 mg. Seems extremely low. I’m back on for a longer trial period since I wasn’t told that it would t kick in u til 30-35 days. Current dosage is 2-3 times daily with 300 mg.
I am 79, with neuropathy localized in my numb feet for the past 7 years. Now combined with Severe Osteoarthritis. I will be searching this community for people who have Neuropathy, and have undergone a total knee replacement. My concern is having g a TKR will cause my Neuropathy to be more affected , don’t need or want more neuropathy areas. I sleep well, can still walk albeit with pain.
I make myself move every day with a minimum step count of 2500. I would like to hear from any person who has had TKR with Neuropathy.
Best Regards, Gene

I am 77 and just not one to advocate surgery for anyone. Why?
My 79 yr old sister has had osteo arthritis for over 10 years. And because of "pain" in her knees ( pain was never from an accident nor a fall) -- she had a TKR 7 yrs ago and then quit walking because of constant "pain" in both knees.
Now she hardly does anything and sits and watches TV all day.
To me, the key to aging well is to keep moving, eat a proper meal and talk with people, neighbors, church members or even friendly conversations in your grocery store.
I can't see how surgery doesn't injure nerve endings and cause more pain. I could be wrong.
