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

Welcome @carolynjoe9, Thanks for sharing your experience with the knee replacement. My surgeon and the anesthesia team also went over all of the possible complication of the TKR surgery. I was a little worried about the nerve damage possibility since I already have neuropathy but it didn't make anything worse and the recovery went well.
I have a similar situation since my right knee that was replaced was bone on bone and my left knee is not far behind. So far it has given me no pain or trouble. Do you have pain with the bone on bone in your left knee?

Hi John
My left knee is bone on bone when it's bent so pain is much easier to avoid whereas the right knee was bone on bone in basically every position so it always hurt bad.
The left knee rubs like heavy furniture being dragged over a wood floor when bending and can't be trusted to not give out. I have lost 40 pounds which has helped and the plan is to continue to lose another 40 so maybe I can avoid another surgery. I also plan to start at the gym as soon as I am cleared.
