Leg pains. Can't sleep.

[Meghabyte 4]

I am 5 days post op and I noticed last night that my right thigh is hurting. It's practically numb on top put I can feel pressure when I rub it but not necessarily the sensation of touch. Every time I sleep I wake up and hour later with terrible pain in that part of my leg (not on top but inside). I try to move it around but this doesn't always help. I'm not getting any sleep and I'm worried something went wrong. I've also been walking for 10mins 6 times a day but it is still hurting. Has this happened to any of you guys?

Sounds like maybe a pinched nerve. If you're concerned, call your surgical team - always the best advice when you're not sure about something. I hope you feel better...let us know how you do....

I would certainly seek medical advice because it could be so many different things including a blood clot, I would not hesitate to call the numbers your doctor gave you, I got several numbers before I left the hospital and have used them once or twice myself. Better safe than sorry

I get the same thing 8n my right thigh, I have a disc bulge in my lumbar spine, Ive found lying on my side helps. I think tight after surgery it was bad cause I didnt kove around much.
