Hi! 7 years ago, I had both my knees replaced at the same time and now if I stand too long, my right top part of my leg goes numb and I have to walk it off to get feeling back. I was wondering if something is not right with my knee replacement or if something is pushing against something in my leg to cause the numbness? Thank you
Hi, as you mentioned you had an old TKR, and now feeling numbness in the upper part of the knee joint then it should be more of a muscular.it might be a nerve irritation to which the numbness symptoms are arising. For this you may check with an MRI of lumbar spine. As your knee is replaced it is quite possible that there will be weakness of the core and spinal muscles. Once the Strengthening of the core and spinal muscles is done I am pretty sure your numbness issue should come down. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recoveryregardsJay In Chat Doctor.
