Numbness in thigh

[test624]

Has anyone experience numbness and tingling (sometimes pain even) in their thigh after the surgery?

I have not. Have you talked to your doctor about this???

Be careful not to blame every ache and pain on your sleeve.

Numbness in your thigh maybe to do with your back. Do you have any lower back pain? Basically the nerve roots running out of your spine innervate different areas of your legs. Maybe you've slightly irritated the nerve roots (L2,L3) possibly by altered sleeping positions due to surgery, causing the numbness and tingling in your thigh. Should resolve itself with time.

This is my thought too.

I have had thigh numbness but this was after a bad lower back injury I sustained at work this summer (no worries, I'm a lot better now). I had nerve impingement and I had numbness but also shooting pains at time. It was bad.

It sounds like it's possible back related. have you been sleeping any differently? exercise?

I have this Meralgia Paresthetica it is when nerves are blocked from the stomach pressing on the leg. Should get better if you lose weight. It is mostly pain on the outside of the leg with numbness and tingling.

Another issue is Sciatica pain. Being fat means you're likely to pinch that nerve, which causes pain. I have sciatica pain once in a while and I hate it. Can't wait til it's gone. I didn't get sciatica pain until I hit 280ish.
