Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Hi Gunn, This may be the effect of the position you were on the table during surgery. I've also read in a report sometime ago (sorry I can't remember which one) where the doctor said that sometimes minor nerves are " disturbed " or even cut. This can cause a numbness which eventually goes away. I had a similar thing, except mine was in my butt. LOL That is a weird feeling. For the first week I had a difficult time telling when a BM was eminent. Mine took about 2 months to completely clear up. I didn't get any " electric shock " type pain, but that could be the nerves trying to get working again. Rita Black HELLO ALL MY NAME IS GUNN PANDYA I HAD THE DS ON SEPT 12 SO TOMORROW WILL BE EXACTLY 3 WEEKS POST OP- I AM HAVING NUMBNESS IN BOTH OF MY THIGHS ON THE TOP AND ON THE OUTER PARTS OF THE THIGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 What you describe sounds like something I had when I was pregnant with one on my kids. The only bad part was it stayed, I was told it was pressure of my enlarging stomach putting pushing against the nerves that supply feeling in my thighs sometimes I would get a very sharp burning pain, so the only thing that worked for me was to pull the pressure off of the area which wasn't an easy job. I hope this helps Nadine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
