What Causes Numbness In Legs After Knee Replacement?
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

HelloAs there is knee replacement. After long titime. You had numbness or recently you encountered? And which side you had numbness? Anterior.,posterior or lateral side. May be due to some nerve compromise can cause numbness. Or of it is recent there might be done changes around the joint that can irritate nerve. Better to have x ray and need to to clinical examination.
