I have a general question, after my TKR (when I woke up) I felt little pins and needles in the toes, not much and NOTHING else, after approx. 8 TO 12 HOURS, the bottom of my foot had numbness (approx. 50%, heel area mostly) my bandage was VERY SUPER tight, my leg became black and blue, I was told the bandage was to remain for three days. Question: Could bandage OVER compression cause foot numbness after TKR? I ask because, why did it take 12 hours for the bottom of foot to get numb? If the surgeon damaged a nerve during the operation wouldn't the heel numbness start immediately? The foot has been the same numbness as it was after 12 hours for a year now.
Anybody else have the VERY tight bandage and numb foot HOURS and HOURS AFTER the surgery? And more important, did it ever get better? I will resist ever having TKR on the other knee with every fiber in my body!
