So sorry to hear that! I've been told by the surgeon who did the surgery to open the popliteal artery that my TKR surgeon pinched, that I the numbness I still have could be from cell and tissue damage from lack of blood flow to my lower leg. Some days are worse than others. Now with the NW Minnesota cold winter my foot tends to feel cold when it actually isn't.
Surgeons need to take a little more time and care during surgeon. Mine does 8 TKR and or hips a day!.
I am taking Gabapentin, which helps a little but it is not good for weight lose.
Good luck to you and wish you the best!
