just had my 3rd tkr i was hoping i was going to be better But not I notice my ankle and the top of my foot was hurting and my foot was turned in and I couldn’t straighten it out so I just thought it was from the swelling. We live 3 1/2 hours from where I got my surgery so by the time I got home my knee was still hurting along with my foot . So I thought that was just from sitting in the car. I have what is called foot drop. I have never heard of this before and I was wondering if anyone out there knows anything about this. So now I am making the 3 1/2 drive earlier than my appointment the day after Christmas. To see My Doctor. The first week after my surgery all I did was sleep now I’m getting no sleep and my foot hurts more than my knee. How strange is this
