  1. Hello! A few months after my surgery my legs started becoming very weak and it gradually got worse. I had a few falls at home because of how bad it got and i went to see a few doctors. I had some physical therapy in Los Angeles but i want to have some more physical therapy in Tijuana. Does anyone know a place they can recommend for me to have physical therapy in Tijuana?

  3. Yes, they checked pretty much everything. I use to have very thick thighs actually and I have noticed that I have lost a ton of weight in my thigh area. I'm guessing it's just my legs trying to get used to the new feeling?
  4. Oh wow! Yes, I actually have been crossing my legs a lot. I had no clue that this could be a problem.

  6. Hello! I had my surgery on December 26 so I am a few months in already. Starting last week I've been having numbness in my thigh and leg area and it is sort of tingly as well. Whenever I try to stand I look like I'm a child who is barely starting to take their first steps! I can't stay standing up for too long because I feel like my legs can give out on me at any moment. My legs already gave out on me twice these last two days and I fell onto the floor and my family needed to help me up. I cannot walk properly. I already went to the hospital and had everything checked out and they said everything is completely fine and that I'm am just lacking my B-12 vitamins. I will admit I was not taking the vitamins that seriously which was my fault but I am taking it more seriously now. I just wanted to ask if anyone else has ever experienced this? How long did it take for you to get the feeling back in your legs? Are there any exercises I should be doing to help? or should I just be in bed resting? Any products you recommend that I should buy?
