Hi all, seeking advice please - I am now 12 weeks post full TKR to right knee. Doing the exercises but pain to back of knee when lifting and bending knee to put on a chair ( of same height ) and when attempting to come downstairs normally rather than one step at a time - are there specific exercises to help this .

Also, since the day after surgery once the spinal wore off, my right heel is incredibly sensitive at night, really cannot bear anything touching the back if my heel ( feels a bit like a blister rubbing on ones shoe OUCH , dont know why it is so sensitive and painful - ? nerves healing ?? I will add , besides the TKR , i had to have all the inside if the knee shaved . Any suggestions would be most appreciated .

    I had this problem with my feet hurting with the same burning sensation. It was very painful as well. . I did bring it up to the nurse when I did the follow up and they to said it was the nerves. It only happened when I had it elevated for long periods of time so I am assuming that was the issue.
