A member asked:

My foot is cold and numb after knee surgery, is this bad?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Cold foot after surg: It is not good. Go back to the orthopedic surgeon that did the knee. He/she was in there. That person knows what was seen and done. They will have the best knowledge about this.

Dr Reyna and another doctor agreed
