I went back to the gym for the first time today. 20min on the elliptical. was good to get back there and sweat a little. Hip/leg did great.
I am 4 weeks post op.
I have about a 4-6 inch "patch" of numbness on my leg, to the side just above my ankle. I have found that I can "tweak" it by pressing the inside of my upper thigh, I assume it is an unhappy sciatic nerve, is this a common post-op occurrence? I googled and found a couple things about sciatic palsy or something like that...the couple of cases I read about cleared up in a year or so. I hope it doesn't last that long. I'll see the surgeon for my first visit after surgery on Thursday, we'll see what he says.
Thanks,
Rob
