Burning thigh

HI GILLIAN .... 13 weeks post op today and experiencing some burning sensation and numbness in and around my scar as well as front of thigh - SOmetimes I think I can feel the rod !!!   you will ind that many of us have this and so, I consider it normal part of healing - we are doing more and muscles are being challenged ... easy to overdo it .... fed up with just shuffling around, right?

I had GA ... be genlte with your self - 

Morning Gillian,

I am 7 months post opp. and I had the same numbness around the scar for quite a few weeks, then itching!! drove me mad as obviousley I couldn't scatch it, the new hip is just settling in, even now I still get twinges, especially after walking around for a while, but for me I think it's because I'm leaning on it too much as I'm now waiting to get the right hip done!! good luck with your 6 weeks check up, at least now you will be able to sleep on your side again!! bliss lol,

love Lynne.

I'm 7 weeks (ceramic cemented) and part of the area around the wound still feels numb and the area is still tender. I got a sense of heat in the hip area after I'd been walking about 3/4 mile today. I assumed it was the muscles complaining.

Hi I'm almost 12wks and the side of my thigh is still numb. If I poke it hard enough it's still quite tender too! And the wound gets itchy too

Oddly since replying to your post earlier I am now getting hot sensations a few times in the upper back thigh for no apparent reason. I could just be sitting down and then feel the heat. I never had this till the walk I told you about before.

Like you now trying not to worry as I can't think of a reason for it as it's not near  the wound. It comes and goes.
