@josie1957 Hi Josie, and welcome to Connect and the knee replacement discussions. I have had two TKRs but neither caused neuropathy. When your doctor said he may have stretched of pinched a nerve did he give you any indication if it would recover and if so how long that would take?

I would definitely push him for an answer on that. I hope it is temporary.

I would hope for temporary too. I had TKR one year ago and still have some variable numbness down outer aspect of knee and lower leg, esp. after exercise.I also tend to drag that foot a bit when tired. Have been told it’s normal, but it’s a strange sensation or lack of it! Hope it is temporary for you
