A member asked:
When will the numbness of my foot stop after having knee surgery ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If a nerve has been severed and separated then it could be permanent. If it was only compressed and the compression goes away e.G swelling, then it is likely to improve over next several weeks to months.
