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?

Only the foot on the side of my TKR. Actually I have numbness that is not nearly as strong up past my knee. At times this “nerve pain” is bad enough that I have to get up and “walk it out”, so to speak. Hard to discribe also I feel the night following surgery onto my surgical side, causing bruising from the top of my leg to the foot. My surgeon was very unhelpful. Didn’t even want to do X-rays. But the nurses insisted. Never really heard anything about them. My experience was unusual and not typical but I will never have my other knee done. Both knees hurt. So it didn’t work out for me. And doctors are not all the same.
