Jesse Serrato 1 Posted March 24, 2019 I have had some bad thigh numbness on both legs. 5 days from surgery, contacted doctor and he said that it is normal because of the straps they use to hold down our bodies during surgeries. I have been active and drinking lots of fluids Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a EMG at neroligist. Its called MERALGIA PARESTHETICA. Google it. It's a pinched or trapped nerve. Femerol nerve. The nerve that let's you feel on the side of thigh. Its caused from tight clothing, or belt .Also from weight gain. It usually is only on one leg. My dr said after I loose weight it will start to heal. It itches also. And I get burning pain. The pain came on after 6 months of numbness. My surgery gastrectomy was March 4th. I'm down 13 lbs. Started at 210 now 197 5ft and 1/2 inch. I hope this pain stops soon. I'm on gabapentin and norco pain meds it hurts bad.
