My replacement will be 1 yr on the 8th of July. I'm have similar issues. It feels like a tourniquet is wrapper around it, tight feeling that gets worse after walking. Standing after 10 minutes feels like bees stinging it and I constantly feel like I got a wadded pad under foot. This has been going on since the surgery and I have told the surgeon and pt multiple times, with every appointment. All they say is it's part of the healing process. During the last appointment I was told it's radicular coming from my back. For reference, I'm a retired xray tech with years of experience in trauma er. I didn't have this issue before surgery and sad to say I feel like I'm just being blown off. I go for a second opinion soon.

@msdtyson30 Sometimes you just want someone to catch the ball and commit to helping you get to the bottom of what’s wrong. I’m hoping a second opinion will provide this for you. Keep advocating for yourself. I’m rooting for you.
