Hi all,
I'm 56 and had my THR on June 9. It was a fantastic experience except that I have sustained femoral nerve damage. My quads are numb for the most part. I have regained some movement-- I can clench my knee and lift my foot about 7 inches in an arc when sitting in a chair, which is positive.
I was warned about nerve damage and numbness but had no idea it would result in my leg collapsing at random, nor did I realize what a long haul it might be. I need some support from someone who has been through this or is going through this.
Anyone out there experiencing this particular problem?
