What Causes Numbness In My Legs Above Knee After A 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

Hi
It seems to b a neurotic symptom meaning swelling of nerves
It is a routine finding after knee replacement which shud get cured spontaneously
If d symptoms persist get an xray done n consult a local doctor
Take care
