I would also love to hear from anyone else who has PN and had a knee replacement and how their experience was. Thank you very much and much sympathy to all of those suffering from PN. |

Hi, you may hear from others on knee replacement issues BUT I deal with nerve damage from hip replacement in 2010...from this surgery my OA knee is way worse as is my foot/ankle, it's all connected. I pretty much got rid of my 5 yr long burning issue but 80% of my thigh is still numb. I do all I can to NOT do knee surgery. Ride my recumbent bike "easy", do cycle work on my bed to keep knees moving, creeking and all. Wear knee support and foot support and use supplements and topicals. I had hip done at 72 and that was just over 5 yrs ago. I use a few pain meds and supplement pain products.
Still thinking about Prolozone injections for the one knee and you can read up on Prolozone and arthritis. There is a lot of info out there. This is my story. |

I had a knee replacement several years after the PN--just couldn't take the bone-on-bone any more. Everyone kinda felt I was being a real baby with the knee pain as it didn't get much better until sometime between the 7th and 8th week BUT I really didn't notice the PN pain/burning so much during this time--I guess the knee superceded the foot (?), or else the pain pills for the knee were also working on the PN--I'm not sure.
I was very conscientious about doing the exercises and now my 5-year old knee is doing great--it never gives me any trouble but I'm back to dealing with the burning legs and feet once again. Any of the lotions with menthol really help with the burning! |
