    Hi Janice

    If I'm reading your thread correctly your nerves were damaged following a tkr performed 21 months ago in which time you must surely have received or been offered some kind of treatment.

    Can you elaborate  on what happened to you after July 2016, the reason I ask is because I too am suffering from nerve damage which started aprox 2-3 weeks post tkr

    I had an MRI on my back in Jan 2018 and I am waiting to see a specialist scheduled for June 2018

    I will let you know the outcome as and when, in the mean time good luck with your recovery
