When you say neuropathy, what symptoms are you talking about?

@crazered I have never heard of surgery for neuropathy as it is a nerve condition.

@mousiegirl I believe OP means she has neuropathy and also had knee surgery. Not that she had surgery for the nuropathy. I myself have neuropathy and bad knees from old age.

Maybe I did not explain this good

i have had both knees replaced. neuropathy from strong chemo had breast cancer. I know you can’t do surgery on nearopathy

my question was. If anyone has nearophathy and has had knees replaced. Do you have trouble walking. I know people who have neuropathy from diabetes do

guess I don’t explain things very good.

I have a bone on bone knee and lower back issues. This causes me to not walk in a straight line often. I know I should have the knee surgery, but I am balking at the idea of it, and I've already had upper back surgery and am not in a mood to have lower back surgery as well. A friend of mine has neuropathy, and she falls down for no reason at all sometimes. She can be walking down her hallway and all of a sudden be on the floor.
