I had total knee replacements on both knees. I have neuropathy in both feet and numbness has moved up my legs. Still able to get around, but not sure for how long.

I'm sorry to hear this is an ongoing issue for you - that numbness is miserable. Welcome to Mayo Connect, we are people living with a wide variety of diseases and conditions, who support each other along the way. We try to be informed medical consumers, and our own best advocates in our care. We are not medical professionals, so not able to provide medical advice. We can tell you what has worked for us (or not) and provide you with information and conversation about your questions.

I am sure others who have this after knee replacement will have questions or suggestions for you as well. Just so we know a little more about you, can you tell us how long since your surgeries, and when the neuropathy started? Since this is apparently a long-term issue, have you seen a neurologist or returned to the surgeon for help? Have you tried any medications or therapies?
