Hey @debalah64 - Welcome to Connect! Glad to see you here - where you will meet a lot of people who are going through the same thing. My ortho surgeon told me that there were three things people usually complained of - numbness, trouble kneeling and a clicking sound. My most recent TKR was January 2019 and I still have a little numbness. My first TKR was 2017 and the numbness is all gone in that knee. Happily, I didn't have the clicking sound. BUT - I definitely have trouble kneeling with either knee. I think your numbness will go away given time. Do you have other issues? Do you have the clicking? or the problem kneeling?

Thank you for the welcome. I do have clicking and I am afraid to try to kneel. My surgeon told me to only kneel on a soft surface or a pillow - not on a hard floor.
