Haven 't seen surgeon yet, but I have been walking without cane since Louisiana. Still difficult going down stairs, and still shaky on ice

Well, d'ya like rice and fish? Aside from all the fish sauce (which is salty like soy sauce, but it's made from fermented sardines), Vietnamese food is healthy. How about Indian food? Cuz I have more curry recipes than god. Most of them vegetarian and fish, actually. And not strong flavored like restaurant food. These are down home cookin'.
Haven't had that much Vietnamese food, do know I have not liked any version of NucMam I have had. Of course, I definitely do not like anchovies, and have had several dishes with them as an incredient (mushed up, base for sauce, that sort of thing), and liked the dish.
I have had some curries which I liked, some which I didn't. Nice thing about Indian food--if too spicy,I notice as I'm eating it. I avoid Middle Eastern (the whole eastern and western Mediterranean) because I often like it, and then have very unpleasant nights (TMI, but it's relevant--barfing up battery acid while suffering diarrhea at the same time is not pleasant).
You might be very sensitive if not outright allergic to legumes. Chickpeas and lentils make up the bulk of the Mediterranean menu. How do you handle beans?
Most of the Indian dishes in my book aren't particularly spicy. There's an enormous section on simple vegetable curries. If you don't like turmeric, coriander, and the like, you won't like most curries, but if you do then you should be fine.
I hate the thought of you suffering cardboard food when there are so many healthy cultures out there to cook from. Lord knows American food isn't known for it's flavor when it lacks epic amounts of sugar, salt and pig fat.
Handle beans in general fine, other than the usual flatulence. In the past, had to be careful about nonsoluble fiber due to irritable colon, but that has not been an issue in years.
In terms of taste, lentils are fine; chickpeas OK, but not my favorite.
Not so much cardboard food, it's getting used to things like brown rice, whole grain pasta and the like vs. the more processed kind. And missing sausages and beef. (Yeah, I know--first is by definition processed, and later, at least most of it in this country, is loaded with all kinds of crap.)
I had some issues with numbness in my fingers, and had very good results from acupuncture. It also helps with circulation issues.... dunno if it helps, but I thought I'd put it out there.
I second that motion. Acupuncture did me worlds of good for my tendonitis. In my arms, though not my knee. But it was a different guy that did my knee and I don't think he was anywhere near as good as the first guy. But since he was $40 cheaper, that's where I went. Ended up spending more anyway, so go to someone good if you're gonna cough up the dough.
