Good morning people from a very sunny Burnley (home of the bank of Dave)
PMRGCA Ive noticed this last couple of weeks that my left leg and foot are feeling numb, I believe that they call it flat foot,not much movement from the foot and ankle I did read that someone on here had a total knee replacement of which I have too, and were there any complications with it. Just curious its more annoying than a issue. thanks in anticipation

That's not flat foot - that is when the instep collapses for some reason and you lose the arch.
Is it foot DROP? Are you unable to lift your toes up towards your shin? Have you reported the numbness to your medical/surgical team? If it is foot drop too then it cold be indicating nerve damage and it may need attention.
If it is foot drop - please tell your medics. It may be recoverable if attended to quickly but is could become permanent. It's the same sort of problem many people experience in stroke.
