Upper Thigh Pain Months After Hip Replacement

With the knee, I had motor loss - almost, but not quite, a drop-foot. Without the nerve feedback, I also had no clue where the foot was, so any uneven terrain - even my yard, was scary. This eventually resolved.
With the hip/thigh there was no motor loss. The most mystifying thing is that the numb area occasionally becomes quite painful to touch - whenever I have an inflammatory flare anywhere in my body.

I have the same, occasionally painful spot on abdomen, where nerves were severed 38 years ago,

Yea foot drop is tough. I know you’re careful not to fall. But many patients injure themselves from the falls it predisposes you to.
That is interesting about your sensory deficit becoming more sensitive when any other body area is in flare … really interesting.
