Thigh numbness 2 days post op



Recommended Posts

Hello people,

wondering if if anyone else has issues with a numb thigh after surgery? It's the outer most portion of my thigh and it's been numb for about 3 days now. When I lay on my back in bed it wakes me up with almost like electric shock or bee sting types of pain which is quite intense.

has anyone had this issue? Does it go away? My surgeon doesn't seem too bothered and says it'll probably go away but I don't really like how vague he is

I have it. Ive had it before when i was bigger. I assume its a compressed nerve for me. http://patient.info/health/meralgia-paraesthetica-leaflet


How long have you had it? Did it come just after surgery?

thanks

Ive also had this (not had surgery yet). Outer thigh, stinging, numbness, painful to touch? I was tested up and down for everything. No clue. Just "one of those things". Just neuropathy. Had me on a couple meds for a bit then it stopped.

I had the same on my left leg went away almost 2 weeks out. Surgeon said it's had to do with your nerves during surgery and being moved around and nerves being pulled he said it's a fairly common complaint after surgery

I also had it, it lasted a few weeks after surgery. I was told it might have been from being strapped to the bed during surgery.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
