Knee replacement with neuropathy in legs

I am 73 and scheduled for knee replacement in July. I have had idiopathic peripheral neuropathy in that leg for six years. I wonder if that can be "fixed" during the surgery. And I also wonder if the surgery could make it worse in long term. Thanks for replies.

I, too have idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy and bone on bone osteoarthritis. Currently 73 years old. I fear this surgery will complicate my neuropathy. Did you have your surgery as planned and how have you done since? (with or without surgery). Thank you for posting. I wish you great healing no matter which path you chose.
