I find your comments helpful. I had anterior first, no problems. Had a second 4 years later on other side, same doctor and have had many problems due to nerve damage. I didn't know that was a possibility. I am six months out and still much numbness and pain and electro jolts. This was unexpected. Now referring me to possible injections. Gabapentin didn't help.

Let me know if injections work for you. I’m taking 600mg of gabapentin currently and almost at 6 months post op. I’m numb on the side of my leg and have occasional electrical nerve jolts also. You’re lucky, I guess, that you don’t have it on your first hip! ; )
