You need to contact your doctor or the surgeon who did your TKR

Sorry to hear that but i must tell you, its been 2 1/2
years since my rtkr and its gotten worse. My leg is numb and i never walk right. have been to ortho surgeon and taken tests and they say knee is perfect so I've given up. It is what it is. We are among those unfortunate people who are not Jumping up and down with praise for the operation. I sincerely hope you get better.

apart from seeing your doctor, get the blood flowing in the leg by doing plenty of exercise, walks etc

Sorry to hear of your long struggle from your TKR, so obviously you need to see your Surgeon for a specialists prognosis, have you tried going to a local pool, and do some walking exercises there, and some low impact water aerobics, the other suggestion is a mini bike frame, which you place against a wall and you can move a chair nearer or further away, and start peddling, again low impact, but you must see your specialist surgeon for guidance. Good luck and Best Wishes
