Nerve Damage

[Ele marie 92]

Hi I am Ele I am 56 and had GB on April 20th.

After the surgey my right thigh was numb to the touch the skin but under that where the nerves are I have unbearable pain. The doctor said that it is nerve damage and sometimes happens after surgery. I am on Lyrica 3 times a day for it if I wasn't strong enough so my doctor put me on oxycodeine I hate taking the Oxy it makes me high. But my pain in my leg is horrid. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for any response.

I don't have the issue, but I have to say I hope it gets better for you. It sounds terrible.

YES! Same situation with me. My right thigh hurts daily and my surgery was 10 months ago. I just bare with it tho because I also have chronic fibromyalgia and pain meds make me ill.

I have periodic pain in my right thigh. Usually at night. I am not taking anything for it.

I had surgery Jan 10 and since then my right thigh is numb on the outside. Have not talked to my Dr about this yet.

I had some very bad hip pain in my left hip a few days after surgery...relieved it feels better after three days.
