The picture is one year old, taken three days after the TKR, and yes I went back to the surgeon one week later because the bottom of the foot was numb. He made like everything was fine and the numb foot would take a very long time to go away. A year later foot bottom still numb. Went to a specialist six months ago about the numb foot, he said AVERAGE time for the numb foot nerve damage to correct was 13 months, or it could take 10 years or never correct.
My question was, was my foot numbness caused by a bandage so tight it damaged a nerve in three days? Can that happen? did anyone one else have the SAME problem?
