Numb Thighs After Lymph Node Removal

During my TAH on 3/22, I had 18 lymph nodes removed. Afterwards I noticed that the tops of both my thighs were numb. One was much worse than the other. I also had limited mobility in one leg -- had to literally pick it up to bring it into bed and couldn't cross that leg over the over. Now, 6 weeks later, one thigh is totally improved and the other still gets numb. I am able to get into bed with no problem. Sometimes when I walk I feel like I'm straining. My hubby says I'm not limping but I feel like I am. Surgeon told me that it can take up to 1 year to totally improve and sometimes it doesn't improve 100%.....depending on how much trauma was done to the nerves. Anyone else having or had this problem?

I had the numbness and tingling, actually I still do a little in my groin area. I did acupuncture around a year and that helped quite a bit. I actually had to be careful what I wore becuase it could aggravate it. So yes there are those of us out here who have experienced similar types of things.

as you wait for this to heal.

My thigh is also numb (surgery was 1/21) I don't know if it will ever feel right
