Foot neuropathy (numbness and pain) after total knee replacement (TKR)

Only a little; and more swelling inside the knee than outside (when it furls like the knee is as big as a soccer ball but it looks the same). I have a wonderful ice water machine (wrap around the knee and it circulates ice water) that I use daily which really helps with both the pain and swelling. I’m actually sitting in my recliner now with it on.
No swelling in the leg and everything looks like it is healing nicely. I’m just so tired all of the time, which depresses me and is very frustrating.

I must say you are doing awesome….. your range of motion I would like a little of that lol ……, and I am over 7 months out ….. I like most people found night time to be painful I don’t know why that is ….. but I took tramadol at night to help for while also slept with my leg elevated for many weeks along with cold water circulation…that also helps with pain ….. I have learned with the recovery struggles to give myself a break…,,, and when I really starting to get down about this whole recovery process…..trust me I have many moments especially with this long recovery….., I go to pt or mfr massage I complain about my pain or my frustration about my recovery not moving along ….. but by end of session I leave frustration there …., trust me does not work all the time but I do my best each day …..you are doing so good physically but sounds like your not sleeping so well because of pain ….. one other thing I tried was melatonin….. I also had trouble sleeping I tried it worked great said take two I took one I was sleeping again all night ….,,good luck
