Thanks a lot, kneepain.
Not EXACTLY what she probably wants to hear, but at least it's an answer.

I had my hip replacement in nov 2007 and had the same promlem. my dr explained the knee pain/numbness is due to the manipulation of the bones during surgury. I guess they pull on and twist the bone around quite a bit so the nerves around the knee take a beating. If I remember right it was about 2 months that it stayed really numb then did gradually come back. It has been 18 months now and I still have an area of about the size of a half dollar on the inside side of my knee that is numb. It's not as bothersome as the hip pain prior to surgury though. Keep up the therapy, once I was able to get on the treadmill regular (slow walk at first) It seemed to come back better. good luck
Is there any timeframe to full recovery?

This is due to the Epidural anaesthesia problems. Some people have problem with spinal anaesthesia and some have problems due to effects of anaesthesia.
As she is slowly regaining strength nothing to worry and do some Physiotherapy to hasten her progress.
Take care!
