Hello @joepringle, Welcome to Connect. I can't begin to imagine what you are going through with the neuropathy pain in your right foot with nothing seeming to help. I think all surgeries carry the risk of infections following the surgery. The Sepsis Alliance website has some information on the risk here - https://www.sepsis.org/sepsisand/joint-replacements/.
I know sleeping when you are having neuropathic pain is difficult to say the least. There are a few other discussions that might offer some suggestions.

Also, the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list of treatments some people have found helpful here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/.
Have you looked into any alternative or complementary treatments for the pain or a pain rehabilitation center?
