burning pins and needles upper outer thighs both

[blooomer 0]

hi...new to this, 9 days post op, roux-n-y,...everthing is going good, able to tolerate soft foods at this time(some), no real pain...but my outer thighs are numb/tingling, feels like fire then ice going through my veins, nurse said was possible nerve pinch while on op table...any help?

I haven't experienced this. But it is common for individuals to develop nerve pain and numbness after surgery because of nerve damage.

I also dealt with this. Mine feels like it was frozen and never went back to normal.

It is slowly going away. Annoying feeling but not major pain.

My nurse explained it is sometimes caused by the position you were in during surgery and to not worry about it
