Common Questions and Answers about Knee operation nerve damage

Common Peroneal nerve dysfunction is a disorder caused by damage to the Peroneal nerve, characterized by loss of movement or sensation in the foot and leg.
Surgery may be required if the disorder is persistent or symptoms are worsening, if there is difficulty with movement, or if there is evidence on testing that the nerve axon is degenerating. Surgical decompression of the area may reduce symptoms if the disorder is caused by entrapment of the nerve.
Thank you for your question. These symptoms you are having can occur due to impingement, irritation or compression of nerve of thigh. Most frequently involved nerve is lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh (which is branch of femoral nerve). This condition is called meralgia paraesthetica which manifests itself as pain, tingling or burning sensation of outer thigh.

When did the sneeze occur?
I have a similar issue. If you've had the nerve damage for 20 years, whatever nerve damage exists is probably permanent. I've been told that nerves heal at a rate of about 1/2 inch per month, so for the sciatic nerve, you are looking at up to 2 years for recovery. After that, what you have is what you have. Now, that assumes that your problem is entirely resulting from the nerve damage. I don't know what type of strengthening you've tried.
This is a common complaint that is often attributed to nerves regenerating over time. Unfortunately, due to invasive surgery, tissue and nerve damage and especially if you had radiation therapy the discomfort could last for a long period of time. If your pain is constant I think you should be seen in a Pain Center, because there are definitely treatments for it.
I also have medial knee pain and am having a nerve block just below the knee in a few weeks.
My wife underwent a lipoma operation last Feb,08.The lipoma was below the left knee and was removed from the back.The lipoma was about 4.5inc long and 2 inc wide. She thought it was just an oversize muscle until she underwent a scan.
During operation , the artery was cut and this complicated the whole operation. It took about two hours before a cardio-vascular doctor arreve and was able to sew back the operation. The firest two months was horrible. Pain relievers was given.
What do you mean by minimally invasive and what discs were removed? Lumbar?Nerve damage takes a long time to heal. If it doesn't go away after a year it is permanent.
Neuropathy of the lower extremities is more often a result of some compromise of the large nerve in the lumbar spine (sciatic nerve). The fact that you had complete loss of feeling right after your accident could be related to the traumatic impact and some contusion or bruising of the area, Considering that the numbness has continued for such a long time, it may be appropriate to obtain a neurological consult to determine if any compromise of the nerves exists.
You should request a copy of the Operation Report. It may give you a clearer picture of how the first surgery went.
I found out from one of my knee surgery op reports that my cartilage was in much worse shape than my surgeon let me know.
I went along on a consultation with a neurosurgeon with my best friend; she was told that there was a 50-50 chance that surgery would relieve her pain. Her issue was cervical, but they also discussed her lumbar spine, which is in almost as bad shape.
These “red flags” could be indicative of compression of the spinal cord and its nerve branches and early treatment is essential if permanent damage needs to be avoided. Further referral to a physiotherapist for spinal exercises could be beneficial and may produce relief of symptoms. Hope this helps.

nerve damage repair microdiscectomy"...
Can nerves be fixed with surgery? I think nerves should be left in peace (piece?).
I have neurosarcoidosis and have been struggling with nerve problems for 2 years now. I shiver to think that during the diagnosis phase, the one neurosurgeon wanted to do a nerve biopsy. I'm thankful that I sought out another neurosurgeon instead. There are just too many risks.
definitely don't go back to that acupuncturist for treatment. but sure let them know what's occurring. i think nerve damage is possible from acupuncture needles because, well, it would be mechanical damage on a physical nerve. would be rare though. if it's happened to you, i think and really hope you would recover eventually, because it's minor nerve damage. by minor nerve damage, i don't mean minor symptoms, i mean that damage from a fine needle would heal up.
Moderate denervation of rectus femoris and vastus lateralis due to femoral nerve damage, with nerve block being the cause. Treatment includes increasing mobility with supportive therapy. The neurologist/ pain physician could try corticosteroid injection in the area to reduce any inflammation related swelling and improvement in nerve function. Pain medicines for the pain and physical therapy to maintain the muscle strength.

Without the ability to obtain a history from you and examine you, I can not tell you what the exact cause of your symptoms is however I will try to provide you with some information.
One possibile cause of headaches following surgery to the brain or spine is continued leakage of spinal fluid.
I am 44yo and have been a fitness trainer and strength coach for the USMC for over 17 years. I dislocated my knee while instructing a class and did major damage and ended up having a knee replacement in December 2013. Upon waking up in recovery I was given a femoral nerve block for pain. While they were inserting the nerve block I experienced extreme pain that felt like I was being shocked repeatedly in my knee for about 10seconds which caused me to scream like I have never before.
