Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

@mywits I too had knee replacement surgery. I complained that the socks I had to wear after surgery were too tight. I also had a hip replaced years ago and don't remember the socks feeling that tight. I was told I had to wear them to prevent blood clots. When I would remove the socks to shower, I could not feel my feet. I told the doctor and he said he never heard of such a thing. I was later diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. Before the surgery I had no problem with my feet.

Welcome @mywits, I'm sorry to hear that you had complications following your knee replacement surgery. I was wearing compression socks before I had my right knee replaced to help reduce the swelling in my legs. You are right. They are tight and they definitely don't make your legs feel any better.
Do you mind sharing how long ago did you have your knee replacement surgery?

After my first knee surgery I kept going back to the surgeon because I felt there was a limb discrepancy. All they would say is you need to get the other leg done. Well I did, however in the interim I developed numbness in my feet and my two legs up to my knees.
Maybe had they listened to me originally and tried to do something it could have prevented the neuropathy. I never had it prior to the surgery!
Oh well can’t go back.
Thanks for your response.
