@sprinrosa64 : I am sorry to hear that you had such a bad result with the TKR. It must be debilitating to have had high hopes for a pain-free, or at least easier knee motion, and end up with nerve damage. In a way I was unlucky to have not known this Mayo forum before deciding on my TKR - would have changed or altered time-line, maybe, and questions to put to my ortho, but on the other hand, I am also at least a little concerned that I may have panicked from some of the negative outcomes/results

and not have the surgery. At some point there may be a good bit of chance involved regarding the outcome, even with the best of preparation, surgeon’s skill, and physical condition. Again, I really am so sorry that you ended up with this permanent pain.
