PS: walked all over Seattle today (it does have hills and steps!) for a total of perhaps 6 hours. Knee held up. Never tested it before like this on mostly concrete/asphalt surfaces for this amount of time. Not great for my Sciatica, or hip, though.

Do you, or any body reading this, know of a close association between tkr and sciatica? It seems I might have some form of it (according to my chiropractor) effecting the nerve/tendon/ muscle use along the inside of my foot and ankle. Maybe I caused it by pulling and pulling and forcing the flexion on heel slides for 5 months. The first 4 months I forced it to a pain level of about 8-9 three times a day. (My in hone PT from rhe beginning of recovery said it is the way to get the amount of max flexion I wanted). Or maybe there was too much pressure put on a nerve during surgery that is causing this dysfuncyion pain in the foot. Anyway, I am asking if there is a lot of sciatica symptoms out there after having tkr.
