Pins And Needles

Hi, i'm now 6 days post-op and feeling great but... over the last couple of days I have started getting pins and needles in my left thigh. I can be sat, laid on my back or front and my leg goes numb.

Is anyone else suffering with this or know what it could be?

Also my port wound is still bleeding very so slightly 6 days on, I spoke to the nurse 4 days PO and she said that it was pretty common (I was glued) but I thought it would have stopped by now. ( I am planning on ringing the nurse again but thought i'd ask on here first).

I'm not sure what causes the pins and needles, but I had the same exact thing happen. I'm now 6 weeks post op and don't have it anymore.

I'm five days pst op and I have the same thing, except more numbness than anything. So uncomfortable!

I wonder what it is! It's irritating more than anything. I woke up through the night and as I stood up the top of my leg was compleatly numb! I hit it and everything!

I'm going to see the nurse Thursday so I will ask her, see what she says. :)
