I too had total knee replacement last week and feel like stiff rubber bands squeezing my ankle and pulling to my toes and under my foot...but no pain. It's better than the few says after surgery so I think things are improving

Hi @gailannbenson, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That's great that you are not having any pain after your knee replacement, especially when it's only been a week. Are you doing rehab at home?

Today marks 3 months since TKR, surgeon said I would be playing golf in three months, yes the knee came along (with much pain) and is good enough to use as normal, BUT he never said anything about nerve damage, bottom of my foot is as numb as it was the night of the operation! Some people say it takes a year to go away? any input? Just hope some day it fades away.
