hi i had tkr 4 1/2 months ago. i get a burning and tingling sensation going right to my foot. i was told its the nerves knitting back together and that it will go. this is major surgery that we have all been through and dont realise it.
we must be patient and look after ourselves. its a long recovery.
you must use an ice pack on your leg 3 or 4 times a day for 15mins.
take care
