Hi, I happened to see your post. I had TKR for my left knee in 2012. I still have pain in the bottom of my foot, tingling, and sensitivity to cold. More pain if I don’t keep my foot warm with wool socks, slippers always in my house, sometimes little charcoal activated foot warmers and good boots, in winter, the boots. I put Aspercream with lidocaine on the bottom of my foot and a wool sock at night, summer and winter. It doesn’t bother as much during the day when I’m busy etc, but nighttime is unpleasant. I hope you have had better luck. Mine isn’t going away. But you do learn to live with it and make the best.

Hello @marynajdek, Welcome to Connect and thank you for sharing your experience and what has helped you. I think having a positive attitude and taking it day by day really helps. Do you have the pain and sensitivity in both feet or just the one in the leg that had the knee replacement?
