Has anyone experienced a numb upper leg after surgery?

Question

I had surgery 10 days ago and the top of my left thigh is still numb! A vein running down my leg had to be clamped during the surgery - could this have anything to do with it? Would appreciate any help.

Answer 1

The numbness comes from the fact you had an incision and upon them doing it they had to cut trough some of muscles and tissues . The vein being clamped was to stop you from hemorrhaging and dying on the surgery table . The numbness will clear up with time but may never recover 100 % as before . I hope you get well soon and have a great day .
