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

today im four weeks out from my surgery. I also had extreme bruising all of my leg as well as you can see my left foot. I respect my doctor and know him very well. He is amazing and one of the best in southern Calif. Yes there are some doctors that i would not send my worse enemy too. Once you start going to physical therapy i do hope you will see a big difference. Yes I am still on a walker and still weak on my leg. remember this is a replacement for a TKA i had prior, so this is my 2nd knee replacement. I also told my doctor that prior to this TKA surgery I had flair ups & bouts of arthritis and I would take Celebrex for the pain. Celebrex works wonders for arthritis.

The doctor I went to for surgery is one of the best in NJ, has more stars for reviews then the sky, was referred to me by close friends in the financing of medical businesses, my point being, his references could not have been better. BUT, because they juggle multiple operations at the same time and do soooo many, I believe they get cocky and sloppy, they screw up. I will live with a numb foot for the rest of my life, had I known I would not have let him touch me. As a quality assurance specialist for 42 years I am a good judge of work/people, my surgeon seemed over confident (big head), and that may have contributed to the nerve damage. I never knew a TKR was supposed to be a gamble.
