I had numbness after meniscus surgery years ago then had TKR in 2021 and had a much larger numb area. My therapist did cupping and now just left with small area of numbness I had years ago from meniscus surgery

@dmk, if you don't mind sharing, how large of an area was your numbness after your TKR? I have not seen many members talk about cupping, especially as a means to combat numbness post surgery. How many treatments did you do and how long did it take to see results?

@sandya4746 - 6 weeks must be a frustrating length of time to continue on, but sometimes patience is the best approach. Is your surgeon hoping you get some more feeling back in that timeframe? Did they discuss what the anesthesiologist might be able to help with?
