I have had idiopathic neuropathy in feet since my total knee replacements in 2016 and 2017. My diagnosis is my new knees flattened my feet more than they already were and the nerves on soles of feet are compressed. I have yet to meet a dr that will see it that way. I suffer daily with tingling, burning and numbness in my feet and going up calves. S pain management Dr suggested that I have my flat feet reconstructed but doesn’t know if that would solve the problem. My foot muscles are strong. Any suggestions?

Have you tried using insoles in your shoes to increase your arch? My recommendation is to see a podiatrist to have good ones made, or at least get the $30 Dr. Scholl’s to see if that provides any relief before buying good ones. I’ve used them in my ski boots for 30+ years and couldn’t ski without them (from a performance and comfort perspective). Good luck.
