Sue - Here's I question I hope you can answer. Would having those nerves cut and pushed around twice in less than 4 months also make them angrier and longer to heal?

When I saw my GP, and he has been terrific, he did tell me that I may always have this pain, numbness, etc. Surgeon never addressed it, even though I asked SEVERAL times. Just a "we'll see how it is at next visit" at which he starts about when I want to have the next TKR.

Just what I need TWO legs numb and in pins and needles!

Oh yes! The place I had the most problem was where I had 2 hip surgeries 8 days apart. It was many months, and I still have a numb (though no longer painful) spot now 10 years later.
