Hi ljn-I've experienced nerve involvement in both of my knee replacements and gabapentin was prescribed to settle that down. The nerves from my LTKR have since healed and I've just started experiencing nerve zingers after my very recent RTKR. I hope you're able to find answers and relief soon. It's a maddening sensation for sure Good luck!

Thanks for the good wishes. All this pain, tingling, and, zaps...are my ongoing reality. Loss of sleep due to the tightness,numbness and 'pins and needles" spoils my next day.

Could I ask if your nerve involvement is in your feet or at the surgical site? If they were in your feet how long did it take for them to settle down as you described?
