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

I've become a believer in Pulsed Electro Magnetic Therapy (PEMF) to deal with my post-surgery pain from TKR (11/14/22). I bought an OMI Ring device from Amazon a month ago and use it around my foot, calf, knee (below, across and above the joint) and around my thigh. It really helps and one can read a book or watch tv while using it. I wish it would dissolve scar tissue too!

I have found that manual manipulation around the scar area, without lotion or oil, and warm compresses help break up scar tissue. It just takes time and patience. It may burn as you work it loose but keep it up and it will break it up.
