Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 " now I have a numb area around my buttock about the size of a CD. It radiates into my underside of my groin area and also have a small patch of numbness on the back of my thigh. " Debbie, I had a numb upper L thigh for 4 years. The docs said it was not the result of the laparotomy and was unrelated to my problem. But... I had a full pelvic clearance 12 weeks ago and guess what? The numbness has gone from the thigh (and has moved to my tummy). It must be nerve damage/swelling that causes it (though you'll never get docs to admit that! <ggg>) Still it was only 2 weeks ago that you had the epidural removed. Maybe there is some swelling that is pressing somewhere and it just needs more time but just in case it's something else though, I'd mention it to your health care provider! I know that's easy for me to say. I hate going to the doctor! (Never liked going - must have known instinctively that they'd be useless when I really needed them!) Just my 10p worth! Hope this finds you improving! Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
