I just posted a lenghly post of my numb tingly foot after knee replacement. Incase you can't find it have an ABI done on your legs. I had it done and it proved th main artery from the knee down is NOT getting any blood flow and i was set up with a surgeon who fixes veins.
I hear you are scared and so am i and could not quit until i found out what was going on.
The surgeon who did my knee just brushed it off.
Now i know it is circulation and i also have appointment with nerology to check on nerves.
Hi @irol and welcome to Connect. I have had two TKRs and never had a problem like yours, and I do not recall anyone on Connect with a similar problem in a foot. Have you called your doctor about it? Hopefully, if you do he/she will be able to shed some light on what the problem is, if it's a temporary healing type of thing, or if there is something he/she can do to help you.
I am sorry you are going through this, but hopefully someone here on Connect might have had a similar experience with a TKR.
