Due to my hip replacement, I have Meralgia Paraesthetica. My femoral cutaneous nerve was damaged. My leg is numb and painful.

Ouch! When was your surgery? Do you know if the nerve was damaged or completely severed?

Damaged nerves can repair themselves, but it is a long, slow process - think many months to a couple of years, not weeks or months.

Wht does the surgeon say, and have they referred you to a specialist for an evaluation?
