I am not sure if this reply is going to one person or to everyone. I am almost 7 months out from right tkr. I can bike 50 miles but not walk comfortably at all. I have terrible numbness in my foot and mostly big toe, off and on, and pain on the inside of my foot and up my ankle under certain activities or positions. My ankle feels weak when
I walk and does not seem to want to do the work of walking, but resistant checks with rhe PT do not show weakness. I scheduled to see an orthopedist who specializes in foot and ankle problems. He works closely with tkr orthopedists, so maybe he will admit a connection to my tkr. This is not the place where I had my tkr.

Hi @irol Your response went to the regular stream of responses to this discussion. If you want to send a message to just one person, click on their @name and that will bring you to their profile, where there is a link to send a private message. When you respond to a message here it goes to all, and if you put the @name on your response that person will get an email notification that someone has mentioned them, or responded to them. That can be very helpful because then the person will give attention to those responses first if they are tight on time.

Your problem does sound odd. I am glad you have an appointment with a different doctor and I hope that doctor will be able to figure something out. From what I have heard, your type of problem is sometimes caused by an ill-fitting replacement. If that is the case it can be remedied by a new TKR (I know, not what you want to hear). I knew a woman who went through this, she had loads of trouble walking, and finally found a doctor who diagnosed her problem and had a new TKR. Problem solved!
