Back pain after TKR

I had a TKR 5 months ago after my Partial knee replacement failed. The knee seems okay and at last my leg is straight. The down side is that I have a slight leg length discrepancy now which causes my back pain. I have shoe inserts and have an appointment with Orthotics so I hope this helps. I also still have foot numbness which has never gone away so I think I'm stuck with this. I'm grateful for the knee itself but feel like I'm not fixed yet!
