Hi @sandie2749, welcome to Connect. I'm 2 months post op for a total knee replacement of my right knee. I had neuropathy before I started and also lymphedema for which I have to wear compression socks. The swelling prevented me from putting the compression socks on until a few weeks ago which made the swelling worse for me. I don't think I helped myself because I didn't elevate my leg and ice it as much as I should have when I got home. I didn't have any problems with the exercises they sent me home with.

Do you still have any swelling in your leg?

Sorry your having pins and needles in your foot. But I am almost 5 months out and the severe nerve pain I had in my right foot after right TKA has just recently turned to pins and needles rather than pain. So hopefully your closer to recovery than you know. Hope your recovery is smooth and the nerve or foot pain heals quickly.

Gabapentin help w my foot neuropathy but my was caused by the popliteal artery being pinched day so g no blood flow to my lower leg and foot. Foot was also cold and toes were purple. They did an ABI test which showed leg pressure was bad in the TKR lower leg. I had popliteal artery surgery which found the artery was totally pinched off. Once fixed the tingly/numb foot was better but not totally gone. Was told I have tissue and cell damage from no blood flow for 60 days along with nerve damage. Told nerves could be up to a year to heal.
