afriendnwv 53 Posted November 8, 2016 Since about day 3 after my surgery I have been having numbness, itching, burning, sharp pinching pains in my outter thighs. It gets worse while laying down at night. It hurts so bad it brings me to tears. What could this be, I try rubbing it to get it to go away, that doesn't work. I either have to get up or roll over on my side and lay on it? Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted November 8, 2016 It sounds like possibly your legs were strapped down overly-tight in the operating room, and your nerves are irritated. But I would definitely check in with your bariatric practice and describe your symptoms. It sounds like the kind of thing you should get a real medical opinion on, not speculation from some weirdo (me) on the internet. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
afriendnwv 53 Posted November 8, 2016 Hmm never thought about that, I have me 2 week follow up on Friday. Thanks for your help. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
all-in 1 Posted November 8, 2016 It could be Meralgia Paresthetica. I have the same symptoms and it is aggravated for me if I lie in bed for a couple days like after my sleeve. http://www.webmd.com/diabetes/guide/meralgia-paresthetica Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
