Good evening, @susiesprue, welcome, welcome, welcome to Connect. It looks like you have had some time to look around before creating a post for yourself. I hope that means you have been preparing and probably know as much as I do about TKRs and neuropathy.

So let's get right to it. First of all, do folks call you Susie? Your @name jumped off the screen when I read it. Even though I have had a few names in the last 81 years, I had forgotten about Susie. That is what my family called me. I don't know why. Perhaps it was a part of the common nickname "Susie Q". At the time, I didn't like being called Susie. Now that everyone in my immediate family is no longer here, I just realized how the memories can flood back into your brain and heart when I saw @susieprue.

Perhaps it would be best if I answered your main question. Yes, I have had a very successful knee replacement recently after being diagnosed by skin biopsy with SFN, Small Fiber Neuropathy. My SFN was the result of trauma from injuries and surgeries. In August of 2021, I had my second TKR on my right knee. The surgery was a Mako Robotic effort that guarantees increased surgical accuracy and a minimally invasive procedure.

Together, my surgeon and I discussed options for controlling the SFN during the surgery and post-surgery therapy. He honored my request for medical cannabis which I use to control chronic pain. I agreed to his request for a commitment to participate in pre and post-surgery PT. It worked out well and my knee feels like it has always belonged to me.

Is there something in particular that you are concerned about other than medication and physical therapy?
Let me know.

May you be safe, protected and free from inner and outer harm.
Chris
