Legs fall asleep at bedtime post surgery

hmmmm, listen I am not a doctor. That said, the lower extremities are 'serviced' by the nerves coming out of the spine, so it's not nerve related.

HOWEVER, clots are possible, and calf/leg pain is a symptom. Pay attention, if the pain gets worse or if you start a fever call MD immediately. AND tell your surgeon at follow-up.

Mine did this for almost 3 weeks. They thought was a clot and and tests done and was all clear. They said it could've just been a side effect from the anesthesia.

I had the same thing with my right hand it was numb for about a week.

I would talk to your doctor

I had the same problem after my surgery. I went to the hospital because it got really horrible. But it came out to be dehydration.
