Hello @pngbee74, Welcome to Connect. I see in your first post that you've had two TKRs and a nerve block on your second TKR. I've had a TKR in my right knee a little over 2 years ago and may need to get one for my left knee sometime down the road. I don't have pain with my neuropathy but do have the numbness mostly in the feet. Weather, especially the winter cold does a number on my hands and feet. I'm always looking for ways to keep them warm.

Do you have to take any medication for your pain or are you able to manage without taking anything for the pain?

Hi John: Basically, I just try self care - massage and then just try not to focus on the pain!! It works some of the time. When it gets too much, I take pain meds.
Take care. Pat
