Hello,

Sometimes it happens as its the side effect of procedure and bandaging as well, it will settle of its own. In some cases, patients experience this tingling sensation what we call as paresthesia due to the lumbosacral disc. I suggest you get evaluated for it as well once you will recover from TKR. Leg straightening depends upon the recovery of the patient which in turn depends upon their capability, ability and willingness.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Naira Jahangir, OB and GYN Specialist
