Foot neuropathy (numbness and pain) after total knee replacement (TKR)

I’m with you, had I known this was gonna happen I would’ve lived with the pain and just taking the shots. However now I have all the stuff going on and I guess I just have to live with that. I do need the left knee done but that’s not gonna happen so it is what it is.

My other knee (right) is not great and I will get the gel shots every 6 months to try and avoid TKR. The knee (left) I had replaced had been getting gel shots but it was to far gone I guess because they did not do crap. If the right gets real bad that shots don't help I would consider TKR again giving the surgeon a fair warning that if he did nerve damage there would be comeback on my part. I believe they can show due caution and prevent nerve damage with care, I believe sloppy workmanship causes the nerve damage. Why do I feel like this? because I spent 42 years as an inspector watching humans work for the fed government, I know why things go wrong.
