@irol - Your right foot pain sounds awful. I've had two tkrs and I haven't had that kind of nerve pain with either one, so I can't share any direct experience but I can definitely commiserate with you on what you are going through with the recovery. I'm just wondering - have you talked to your orthopedic surgeon about the pain?
@irol : regarding knee pain when bent and turned inward, yes, that’s pretty much it. At 12 months it is not as intense as it was earlier, but still pretty uncomfortable. And any kind of pull on the TKR leg is still bad. When working outside and overlooking a vine running along the ground which snags my leg, and stretches it, not so great. However, my foot in general is fine, even though I notice I still turn it inward a little bit when walking, perhaps unconsciously trying to take pressure off the knee. I, too, have orthotic inserts, but in my case for uneven leg length that resulted in hip issues. From time to time I grab a jump rope, wrap it around the TKR foot, and gently pull up sideways and inwards to simulate the sock-pulling position. Have not done that regularly enough though to notice a difference. Time does ease the pain to a certain extent, if that helps....
