I am so afraid of a TKR making it worse! I already have neuropathy from chemotherapy.

Can you tell me if you liked your orthopedic surgeon?

Hi @emily75, I'm not sure if your question was directed to me but I really like my Mayo orthopedic surgeon. He was great and went through all of the risks of the procedure as did the anesthesiologist. There is always risk with any major surgery but I am extremely happy I had my knee replaced. I also had neuropathy before I had the TKR.
