I do, my heel was numb after left TKR and my arch and ankle hurt. I have to wear loose shoes and tie my athletic shoes loosely. My ankle hurts while sleeping. My Dr told me to see a Neurologist??? Not happy! I'm 3&1/2 mo since surgery. I got a foot massager with heat and it helps but still numb and hurts with shoes.

I had TKR in my right knee 7 months ago. Strangely, I've had some ankle pain in my nonsurgical leg off and on since the surgery. It may be the result of the realignment of your legs and spine after surgery. My right knee joint was very damaged by the arthritis and changed my gait, and I relied on the nonsurgical leg a lot before and after surgery. Hoping everything will correct itself by the one-year mark.
