I have had some bad thigh numbness on both legs. 5 days from surgery, contacted doctor and he said that it is normal because of the straps they use to hold down our bodies during surgeries. I have been active and drinking lots of fluids

Is it in your outter thigh? I have it too. It is only in one leg for me, it's just a minor annoyance, especially when it itches.

I did have pain early on when getting up and sometimes at night. I no longer have pain at all, just numbness.

I'm having left leg outer thigh numbness,its been coming on for a year .then it started like pins poking pain and burning. I had a EMG at neroligist. Its called MERALGIA PARESTHETICA. Google it. It's a pinched or trapped nerve. Femerol nerve. The nerve that let's you feel on the side of thigh. Its caused from tight clothing, or belt .Also from weight gain. It usually is only on one leg. My dr said after I loose weight it will start to heal. It itches also. And I get burning pain. The pain came on after 6 months of numbness. My surgery gastrectomy was March 4th. I'm down 13 lbs. Started at 210 now 197 5ft and 1/2 inch. I hope this pain stops soon. I'm on gabapentin and norco pain meds it hurts bad. Google it.
