@wannie .... sorry i dont know answer but just noticed your post and my first thought is; doesnt sound right to me that a knee replacement would end up with swelling, cold and pain in one foot!!

Nerve test can show normal but doesn't mean there isn't something else amiss ... there can be other reasons for pain, freezing, swelling besides 'nerves."

Did anyone ask the surgeon why a knee operation affected your foot.... Did you or could you ask your referring doctor..... can you get a copy of the operation report? Plus a copy of the "nerve test" results - I have a copy of my nerve test results, just requested it from my doctor at the time. It is all information on our file, we can request copies of correspondence, reports, etc. and i was not charged for copies. I even got last week a full printed copy of my former dentist file .....

I got copy of some of my file from our hospital in Ontario under freedom of information act.... not for legal purposes but I wanted copy as no longer have a family doctor.

my daughter has a few friends who have had knee surgery and i can ask her to ask them if they have any foot pain etc.... and am sure you will get some more comments from the many regulars on this site.... hope you get to the bottom of this issue. J.

oh sorry @wannie i hadnt realized this issue has been discussed for many years, i just had a quick look and dozens of similar situations and advice GroupsJoint ReplacementsFoot neuropathy after total knee replacement
Not sure if still current, maybe a moderator can advise... seems this is not uncommon to have foot issues after knee surgery!!! I had no idea! Dozens of patients having foot issues after knee surgery, horrible! Am off to bed as 10pm where i am but will take another look tomorrow and ask my daughter aboit her friends surgery and also tell her about this happening in case she ever needs knee surgery, in fact my husband has very very painful knee and will discuss all this with him... its one thing to be warned of a possibility of this happening, but not to be warned, or to be shrugged off after, not right! TAKE CARE, BEST OF LUCK TO YOU, J.
