Tomorrow will be 7 weeks post op right hip.
I just walked down my stairs, I have had about a 7 pain level going up and down stairs recently. Well, by the last step the pain was horrible, probably a 9. It is on the side of my leg , below the incision. While I was sitting, before the stairs, that area was pretty tingly (nerve sensation). The pain went down to my knee (still on the side) then I think over to the left side of my calf. The worst being just below the surgery site.
My doc had mentioned possible nerve entrapment, although I had not experienced anything this severe when I saw him.
I had also taken 2 percocet about an hour and a half previously, they had no effect on this pain.
I thought it had been my overdoing it that started this new pain a few weeks ago, so the last 2 days I have done no walking or swimming.
Help
