Foot numb after TKR

I had a revision of a Partial knee replacement done 1 week ago which resulted in my having a TKR done instead as the Partial was subsiding. The surgery went well but I have numbness in my heel and foot. I can move my toes and feel them to an extent but am left with a dead leg feeling. I was told it should be fine in time but it has obviously left me feeling disappointed and worried that I will be left this way indefinitely. It is very early days and I will have my 6 week check up to go to when hopefully I will feel better but I wanted to know if anyone else had this happen. I had a spinal anesthetic procedure and knew the possibility of nerve damage.
