Thanks Sue! The pain and tingling does move around. Of course the surgeon said he’s never had this happen. It just gets frustrating when you try to fix one problem and end up with another. My knee feels great!!

I would rate the pain and tingling moving as assurance it is part of healing.
Some people are experts at only hearing what they want to hear - and letting the rest "go in one ear and out the other" - maybe he's one of them, or he's new at this. Otherwise it's hard to imagine nobody ever said it to him before...
At least you have others here to tell you they've been there. I wouldn't necessarily jump to new orthotics until a few more months have passed. Also a few more PT sessions might be in order to make sure your gait isn't contributing.
