I was just told numbness and tingling in the foot/leg was normal. Not in my case. I was black and blue from to tourniquet for weeks. They could not find the nerve for the nerve block to my knee to help with pain after surgery. BUT the worst was the surgeon pinched the popliteal artery behind my knee cutting off the blood supply from the knee to the tip of my toes. tried several Drs. got same answer...that's normal!! Finally had appt. with my primary and she said no it is not normal to have numbness, purple toes that turned white sometimes, and ice cold foot all the time and ordered an ABI test of my legs. test showed pressure of 1.6 left leg/.4 right leg. and was sent to cardiologist who ordered an angiogram that proved the artery was truly BLOCKED because of the knee replacement surgery. SO another 6+ hour surgery to open the artery and put on blood thinners for months! BUT since it was 60 days without blood flow to my foot, not ALL the numbness and tingly was gone, but it is better compared to what it was before. I still have some numbness but stopped the gabapentin (felt no different after than before) and it is now 14 months from my TKR. My artery surgeon said I could have permanent damage to the cells and nerves in my foot with the lack of blood flow. TKR surgeon says could take 3+ years to heal nerves at 1mm a day from back to foot. He has never said he's sorry that this happened and that he did anything wrong!!! just I suppose there is a law suit and I'm sure you wished you never came to me! He was supposed to be the BEST knee and hip person in the area.
I hate the feeling in my foot and can't go barefoot even in the house. I have to have shoes on or it gets worse and feels cold.
I did find a chiropractor that says he can help but with COVID-19 I haven't been back to him since the consult and testing he did to get results and his plan.
Best of luck!
