achy legs 8 weeks post

I am 8 weeks post op and feel pretty good most of the time except I keep having achy legs and lower back.
It is not like a muscle ache but just a deep ache like you would if you had the flu. I know I don't have the flu.
I felt like this at about 3 weeks post-op but it had went away. I just wondered if anyone else was experiencing this and it was just still part of recovery.

hey...i too have an ache in my left leg ..the back thigh area. I don't have to walk far to get that pain and numb feeling. Not sure if it's normal or a prob but the dr. Says to walk I can't walk bcuz of that numb achy feeling..i will tell the dr. Il stay in touch and let you know what was said...good luck!!!!

I have the Same symptoms. The have never gone away. But from what I understand its called Femoral Nerve Myopathy and is usually temporary. Its from trauma aka the surgery causing a shock to the Femoral Nerve at the very top of the thigh into the groin. It happens from being on your back in stirrups during the surgery. Explain to your Doctor Concisely what is happening, make sure he understands that this is a serious symptom and ask him for treatment options.

gabapentin can help with that pain, i just take it at night to help me sleep, makes me too sleepy during the day

Thanks for replying everyone. Glad to know I'm not crazy. It is just frustrating because I would feel pretty good if this leg pain would go away. I have noticed that the more I walk around and even try to excercise it seems to help. I have also been sleeping with a pillow between my legs and that helps. I wake up in the mornings sometimes with them hurting, which seems weird. Hope everyone feels better and Happy New Year.
