Dear caringaj, Thanks for your reply. I'm so happy to hear from more people who've had success with having knee replacement and it not affecting the neuropathy. My neuropathy came as a side effect from chemo for ovarian cancer. I can deal with it pretty well now but if it got worse, it would sure be hard for me. I don't know if the cause of the neuropathy matters in trying to compare cases, but just in case, do you know what caused your neuropathy?. My symptoms are coldness and numbness and once in awhile a sort of restless feet type feeling. Thanks again so much, Skippyfeet
