My foot neuropathy started within weeks of my TKR, and went unnoticed
the initial 4-6 weeks after surgery because the oxycodone had masked it.
It won’t go away, don’t believe them. Oh, maybe several years down the road.
I went through two different neurologists, leg vein testing etc… you name it and they couldn’t find a thing. Went to a general surgeon for an opinion and heImmediately advised me that the neuropathy is most likely caused by the TKR.
HAD THE SECOND KNEE finished recently, TKR, and that surgeon advised me of neuropathy beforehand without me mentioning it. So yes, be prepared,
I’m over two years since my first and it NEVER went away and no signs it will.
When I questioned the first surgeon, before I decided not to go back, he totally denied such a thing. Most lie and tell you what you want to hear.
But if you can walk, nothing is ever perfect at this stage of life. Learn to deal with it. I did.I do. Good luck.
