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?

Sue

I had the right knee done in 2006 and the left in 2007. I started having symptoms in my right leg shortly after surgery and was told it would go away. It never did and progressed to my foot. Then I got numbness in my left leg/foot and went to a neurologist in 2011. I am currently taking 300MG 4 times a day.
