How Much Longer Will I Have Neuropathy In My Leg Following Surgery?
By
Question: I had a 3 inch bone tumor removed from my tibia on the inside of my leg just below the knee, leaving about a 5 inch scar running verticaly down the inside of my leg. Following the surgery most of my lower leg was numb, and now some of it is numb and the parts that were numb have a painful burning senstation when lightly touched. Will this go away? I sometimes wake up in the night with pain from something touching my leg.

like the poster above mentions the nerves will grow back slowly. In my cash after having knee Surgery in Sept ember 05, I still feel numbness when I am on walking for long periods of time. My numbness is a result of overuse. It’s not continually and goes away once I relax.
You should consult your physcian in regards to your concern to make sure it is nothing more than a common side effect that takes time to be resolved.
Best of luck
