i had a right hip replacement almost 4 years ago and really recovered well and got on with life. in the summer i accidentally walked into a long drawer handle and it jammed into me right where my scar was. it took a long time to get better but it did eventually.

Ive now developed a tingly/numbness in my whole leg. i have made a gp appointment but its not for sometime. has anyone else had this numb leg thing after so long? im worried. any advice would be welcome

    I had numbness and tingling after my last revision in July, between the old and new scars.

    I massage it with bio oil and the numbness is slowly going.

      My guess .... probably temporary problem after the accident.

      It should have surfaced before now if due to the operation itself.

    what kind of approach did you have? i am very concerned about numbness reports after anterior approach, which seems to be fairly pervasive.

      I had the conventional posterior approach. im better these last couple of days so it was probably one of those things

    Hi I hope your Doctor sorts your problem out soon.

    I had my left THR just over 1 year ago and recently I have woken up and my whole leg on the surgery side is totally numb so I am going to see my GP too
