daisy22, I had left THR March 2023 and have had the numb nd tingling nerve pain on the anterior/upper thigh since then. My ortho says 18 months it will go away with a 6-7 inch patch of numbness. He said it was caused by the femur nerve being bruised or irritated when that nerve is retracted during surgery. I have known 4 friends who had this surgery and did not have this.

You say your surgeon admitted he could have cut or damaged the lateral cutaneous femoral nerve. Did you ever consider consulting with a lawyer about this issue? I had a lot of bruising on the back buttocks and thigh area after the surgery, and my foot has blotchy blue areas, like bruised.

I would not have 2 done at once but have heard some people opt for that.
