3 days post hysterectomy: Leg numb
Good morning! I had surgery on Thursday and so far everything is going well. My belly button is my biggest source of pain and my lower back is very tender. Today I have a whole new issue. It actually started overnight. My legs keep going numb like they are completely asleep. I have tired to stand, but just fall over, which yes, hurts like the dickens!!! My husband and I are at a loss. Obviously this is not normal. Called the doctor, but no return call as of yet. Any suggestions?

Re: Leg numb
While I am not sure what type of surgery (LAVH, TLH, TAH) you had, there are many nerves that were disrupted and ultimately trying to re-establish a connection and like your body will need some time to heal. Hopefully you have received a call at this point. If not, ring your doctor to see what they say sweetie.
Please let us know how you are doing!

3 days post hysterectomy: Leg numb
Hmm, both legs are numb? I had an issue with only my upper left thigh...at first it felt numb, and then there was an extreme burning sensation. It almost felt as if dry ice had been put on my thigh and burned me. I mentioned it to the Dr and he said that it would go away. I am 4 wks post op today, and it is finally subsiding. Not completely gone, but almost.
From what I have read, its the nerves that manipulated or cut and they are healing.
Good luck!!

Re: 3 days post hysterectomy: Leg numb
Has your doctor returned your call yet? If you are falling over, there's a real danger of injury. If you haven't heard back yet, call again...and keep calling until you get some satisfaction.
