I had foot neuropathy after my hip replacement. It was severe for months but has lessened each month after surgery. It took a while but did go away. I had my hip replaced a year ago.

Hi,

Two weeks ago, I started having burning pain in my thigh. I also have tingling and pain on the side off my calf and into my foot. I went to my doctor yesterday for my three month checkup after hip replacement surgery and I was told it was neuropathy, the nerves coming back to life. Woo hoo, i get to be one of the small percentage of patients who get this. The doctor said that it could take 6-9 month to go away. I was wondering what you did for your foot neuropathy for all those months. Did you do physical therapy or take any medication?
