I have cancelled many appointments and the clinic said they are not scheduling in person appts. until August and that is iffy as well. BUT are doing teleconference and Zoom conference. I'll wait till thing settle down with the pandemic. We have had orders from our kids to stay home!
I have been told by the PA at the clinic that I probably need to go down to Mayo Clinic. Of course my husband does not want me to have to go through yet another surgery. Will see. If I knew it would get rid of the knee pain and help the nerve/numbness in my foot I'd do it but you hear of too many things going wrong trying to make things right.

I also have knee pain and a numb foot after total knee replacement (heel area mostly) been 2 months now. The reason i am replying is I believe you are far more apt to hear of the things going wrong then all the things that went right with TKR so consider that in your decision making.
I myself will do just about anything to avoid another operation on my other knee, the numb foot was NOT part of the deal and the surgeon NEVER imparted anything about nerve damage when I asked about downsides prior the operation (when making operation decision). My surgeon was the top guy in the group with all the great reviews, but it did not matter, he screwed up, he is trying to worm out of the responsibility by saying it may be a bad back. Bad back my ass, he did not show due caution in some manner, Bet if was his knee operated on he would not take it so lightly. But again, if the pain is relentless for a very long time, what choice do we have? Good Luck
