Where is your nerve problem? I am only nearly 3 weeks post-op and in week 1 of post-op I developed a burning & ripping sensation in my upper left thigh. I have had it before, but it would go away- this was constant. And my thigh was numb all over. It was also on the right side but not as severe. I google searched it on here and online and it is a condition called Meralgia Paresthetica Here is some info: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1141848-overview

I was told by my surgeon/operating GYN that it was a normal side effect of having my legs in stirrups and being in an inclined position for hours and that it should go away. I see you had your surgery in June, I would love to know more if you don't mind?? I am concerned about this becoming long term. Most of the pain has gone away but I still have some and some numbness. I just worry about it being an issue for the rest of my life. I still haven't driven yet and I'm scared to.
