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

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.

Sounds like a great plan! Weight loss is one of the things I've worked hard on also to help with the knees and other health issues. Keep up the good work!

Good luck Carolyn,

Both losing another 40 lbs, and strengthening the quads and hamstring muscles will prepare you well for a TKR.

All the best to you!

Joe
