Foot neuropathy (numbness and pain) after total knee replacement (TKR)

I wonder if this is an issue for me. I had three operations on my left knee - initial TKR and two revisions to try to correct instability due to lax ligaments in front of my knee. The last Operation left me with numbness and cold feelings in my left foot. by, Drs seems confused and the only idea seems to be that it's nerve issues coming from my back. I'm not so sure. Maybe I should try to get some doc to order this test for me. I don't get purple coloring in my foot - just numb and cold in my toes, particularly after standing and walking - and it doesn't take much. I'm really in a bad mental state. I've been through SO MUCH with this left leg. IT all happened after TKRs and subsequent surgeries, I don't want any more surgeries but i really want my ability to walk and stand with out losing feeling in my foot! thanks.

It’s so sad. Each doc says not from the TKR. My chiropractor says yes from TKR. You stand and walk different. I did go to another ortho surgeon and she said the plastic piece in the knee is to small and that is causing the hyperextended and wobbling giving out of the knee. If it weren’t for Covid I would have already gone to Mayo but have the 2 surgery’s within 60 days was a lot of trauma and should wait a little longer. Wish you the best.
