TKR pins and needles

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi, I had a TKR over a year ago. Ever since I have had pins & needles in the heel of the operated leg. My consultant was totally disinterested. Just takes time I was told. 24hrs a day, every waking moment I get no relief., while it is not extremely painful, it is very uncomfortable and disconcerting. I can't wear decent shoes because of it. It doesn't ever get any easier so always conscious of it. Does anyone else suffer constant pins and needles so long after surgery. I need my left knee doing as well but I cant face it again. Not getting 'great' relief from initial TKR.

    How sad that this has happened My right knee was done FEB of 17. Took what seemed like forever to get my bend. I have 0 issues but my new left knee has a large "dead" spot on the side of my knee and I still have burning . Guess none of us get through this surgery without some residual affect. Darn it.
