Pain from Bovie pad

Hi everyone, I was curious if anyone is or was suffering from thigh pain as a result of the Bovie pad used during surgery?

Oh yeah.... Seems to come and go. 1 wk out, appears to be subsiding.

I had a numb feeling in my thigh for the first 4-5 days. It's far gone now.

Ok. Finally my pain went away after 3 months.

Hi all. What's the Bovie pad? Because I've been getting this intense upper outer thigh/hip pain at night on & off. I'm 2 1/2 weeks post surgery

It's a pad they place on your upper thigh for grounding electricity that run through your body when they user lasers. They don't mention it before surgery. I surely didn't know but found out when I went to the ER due to the severe pain a few days after surgery. Ask your dr about it. I was given s Rx for a lidocaine patch that I used for about 5 weeks before the pain went away.
