@emily75, I understand where you are coming from. I too was afraid of having a TKR when my knee was getting worse day by day and nothing else was helping. I have had neuropathy for 20+ years and was afraid it would make it worse. I finally had to make a decision on whether I wanted to continue with my knee getting worse day by day or have the knee replaced and take a chance on making the neuropathy worse. I'm glad I had the knee replacement. It didn't make my neuropathy worse and I'm hoping your story will be the same.

Good luck on your decision.
