Hi my name is Sandie and I had my right knee done a year ago as of May 21 and I still have the neuropathy in my foot that I had the night I woke up from surgery. I’m sorry for what you’re going through because I’m still going through it. My doctor said it would go away also however it has not been on top of that I developed sciatica the same time I got the neuropathy right after surgery. Still fighting it but I don’t think it’s going to get better after gabapentin, pain meds, ibuprofen,And meloxicam nothings changed.

Hi my name is Mike, wow, a year with no improvement is a long time but I would not give up hope as the nerve is supposed to heal very slow. Spoke to a friend and his took longer then a year but it did go away. I will not go to a doctor as they are the ones that caused it, also don't believe they can do anything (except make more money with false hopes) so why take a chance of them hurting me again or even more. Your body will do what it can to make it right, don't look for a quick fix, (it's not like your knee bones grinding against each other) keep as healthy as you can and it's out of you hands after that.
