Pain in upper/ outer thighs

Since about day 3 after my surgery I have been having numbness, itching, burning, sharp pinching pains in my outter thighs.

It gets worse while laying down at night. It hurts so bad it brings me to tears.

What could this be, I try rubbing it to get it to go away, that doesn't work.

I either have to get up or roll over on my side and lay on it?

    It sounds like possibly your legs were strapped down overly-tight in the operating room, and your nerves are irritated. But I would definitely check in with your bariatric practice and describe your symptoms. It sounds like the kind of thing you should get a real medical opinion on, not speculation from some weirdo (me) on the internet. Good luck!
