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.

Hi after 2 tkr‘s I developed neuropathyin both feet. I do not have diabetes and have been told that my gait from my new knees are causing the nerve to compress on my inner ankle. I wear orthotics for my flat overpronated feet. The left foot and leg is much worse than the right and the left foot also is flatter than the right. Seems with all this medical knowledge no one can help me. A podiatrist, a neurologist or anyone else. I have had 3 nerve decompressions on my left side only to have it compress again. Very debilitating and actually disturbing my life big time. Surgeries didn’t fix or cause symptoms to worsen as my right foot had no surgeries and symptoms are there but much lesser. I need help with this and don’t know what else to do.
