Hi @sandya4746. I'd like to invite @whiteda and @hopelives to this conversation as they discussed some numbness and sensitivity after their TKR's.

I also had a TKR in 2006. I still have some "numb" areas around the scar on my knee, specifically to the right of the scar. The area of numbness was much larger right after the surgery, but slowly improved over time. Now there is maybe a quarter-size area of numbness left that I assume is just going to be there forever. While I don't like that area being touched, it doesn't really cause any functional issues. It's just weird.

I was told, in my own experience, that nerve endings can take a long time to heal if they are going to heal at all. Patience may be the key, but I also was told to massage the scar and the surrounding tissue. It sounds like you are taking a lot of really positive steps to do what you can.

@sandya4746 - You are experiencing a large area of numbness, have you discussed this with your provider or surgeon? How is your swelling and range-of-motion?
