I've had both knees replaced this year. The only things I've noticed post-op is numbness of the skin on and around the kneecaps. Apparently this is common and may resolve over time. If it doesn't, at least in my case, it's not a big deal.
Do you go somewhere to get laser treatments or are you able to do at home?
Thank you! I was sent to a neurologist yesterday for the severe nerve pain. Because I'm on a lot of medications he can't give me anything because it would react badly. He said I can do nothing, I can use Capsaicin or get my medical Marijuana license. I had that license before but I also have copd. So I cannot inhale. I have a hard time regulating the edibles and I also have a hard time finding a tincture that has the right amount of CBD and THC to work but not knock me out. So I'm going for the appointment anyway to get it again and hopefully the commissary has come further along that they can try to figure out what it is that I need. In the meantime I bought the capsaicin and I'm going to try it they said it doesn't always work right away. Thank you for responding!
