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

I really do feel most of us try to be too active. I know weight bearing activities like walking can still cause me a lot of pain but I did get a compression stocking and it has been wonderful for keeping the inflammation down so I can walk farther now. HOWEVER I do think we need to be careful on what and how much exercise we do. My surgeon told me last month that it takes about a year to recover ( didn’t tell me that before the TKR)
I also go to aquafit which has been wonderful for strengthening my legs and improving circulation
I would probably agree that your foot pain is related to your TKR. There is so much nerve and tissue repair going on that referred pain to the foot only makes sense

You have been very helpful and I appreciate that. I am going back to Aquafit starting in April (I put my membership on hold) as I haven't felt steady on my feet to go back and I am very conscious of my walking so I don't fall or slip if wet outside. We are heading to Universal again in December and I will be 13 months out by then so hoping I can do all the walking etc....it is about 18,000 steps a day and we was almost 5 miles a day. My ROM is 115 and 123 with a strap when I have had it checked so that is not the issue...just all the referred soreness and pain in other areas. I have a compression knee sleeve that I wear that helps but haven't found any compression/neuropathy sock that fits me well as I have big ankles and calves (even in high school) with a 190 weight. Thank you fo much for all your suggestions. We do tend to overdo and I'm doing all I did prior to surgery except mowing the grass which I want to do in a few months lol
