Foot neuropathy (numbness and pain) after total knee replacement (TKR)
Joint Replacements | Last Active: 11 hours ago | Replies (744)Comment receiving replies
I had a right total knee replacement in Sept. 2019 and also came out of surgery with numbness and tingling/pain on my right foot. It is now17 months later and I still have it. I just went to a neurologist to see if we can figure the cause for sure. She already seems to think my back is the problem rather than nerve damage but, that remains to be seen. My Orthopedic surgeon also told me that the neuropathy would likely be gone within a year. That didn't happen for me. Trying to find further information on the web when I saw your comment.

Got the same line from my surgeon, it's a back thing, it's not his doing!, and it will go away, 13 months later it's exactly still the same. Funny it came the same day I had TKR. What else can you expect? them admitting to screwing you over for life? Note: Hard to find a doctor to say a bad word against another. My neurologist would not either.
@tigger2648 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Glad you found us. Sorry to hear you are still having tingling and pain 17 months later.
May I ask, did you have a chance to take a look past comments and was anything helpful?

I’m glad you are visiting a neurologist. You also need a PT that knows about mirror therapy. Because I believe no matter the cause or if they can’t find a cause, it would help you immensely. But it needs to be started now.
