Did anyone have a broken Patella and have surgery on it and still have numbness in their knee?? I think part of my Rsd is a nerve being damaged as a result from surgery>> Am I just crazy or is this normal to have no feeling in your leg from this type of surgery??

I am sorry but can't remember cause I think you hav stated your feet are numb too sometimes? Please correct me if I am wrong. Anyhow have you had an emg/nc? I ask because I have PN but also RSD.

Still with the feet numbness that is why I was asking. You could and you may not so this is a guess but have more then one condition going on. Like rsd plus ? Bobber is right that it can take a long time for nerves to heal. That is something I have learned on the PN board. Many have for ex b12 deficiency and when they repair that they begin to heal but it is a slow process
