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

I had TKR in 2019, June, and I still have foot numbness, tingling, intermittent pain, calf numbness. I had lots of issues in this surgery. DVT behind the knee joint, 14 cm hematoma, and massive swelling in the whole leg which damaged the nerves significantly. I did PT faithfully to restore movement and sensation, but even so I still have most of my problems on that side yet now in 2023. I have accepted that what I have now will be the best it can be.
I achieved my goal, though, of still being able to shift gears manually in my Mustang, although I don’t drive it on account of my pain med Tramadol, a Schedule 4 in Wisconsin, DUI if caught. I am hoping to be off of it at some point. Wisconsin is terrible in many areas of their governance on medical issues, don’t get me started.

I have had numb burning tingling feet since my 2 tkr’s in 2016/2017. Seems my flat feet didn’t like position of knees so here I stand 5-6 years later. VERY DEBILITATING.

Is the pain in your foot in a specific area? I'm afraid that I may have to deal with a accepting this also. My ankle and foot were very swollen from tkr. After having tried everything short of surgery, I keep hoping to wake up to a change in sensation. It's hard to believe how much pain you can be in from sensation when waking on it. Thanks for responding.
