Does Coldness In Knee And Foot Post Knee Replacement Suggest Recurred Cancer?
I had a full knee -left leg- replacement in 1986 -I am having circulation issues with my left leg and my left knee gets very cold as well as my left foot . I am a three time Cancer survivor- lung cancer left lung 1991, right lung 2002 , sarcoma removed from left thigh 2013 - is it possible that cancer metasisize to left knee.

Hi,
It can, but when you had a knee replacement on the left side 34 years ago it can also very well be that the internal prosthesis is causing the problem. Only a thorough diagnostic process can answer that question. Good luck, I hope it’s just a mechanical problem in your knee.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
