I recommend that you see a neurologist asap.

I would recommend you consult with a Board Certified Podiatric Surgeon to see if your symptoms are related to the knee surgery. You could also consult with a Neurologist to see if there was any nerve damage.

Start with your surgeon. If he cannot help you, go to a neurologist.

The feeling in the foot may not be related to the knee replacement. i recommend you see a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) or primary care physician to determine what the cause of the numbness might be. You may be developing a problem with the nerves in your back

Hello,

I would consider going to a neurologist to have an EMG of that leg. It is likely that during the knee replacement, a nerve was cut or damaged.

Dr. Patel

Thank you for your question. My recommendation would be to go back to the surgeon that had originally performed your total knee replacement. Since you say that you never really had any relief from that surgery, the symptoms you are now experiencing in your foot may all be related to that surgery.

Any type of surgery can result in long-term complications, including nerve damage. The nerves that innervate your foot and leg come from the low back and travel down the leg to the toes. So a surgery by the knee that has a complication of damage to the nerves around the knee may cause issues with numbness, pain and loss of function in the feet and legs. You will need to see a Neurologist and have a Nerve Conduction Study to evaluate the nerves in your symptomatic leg and to see where the damage is located.

Need to be rechecked by surgeon.
