@crowhunter I would be checking the nerves in your back. I do have neuropathy in feet because of chemo, it subsides before next treatment, but the numbness in my thighs comes from nerves in my back being compressed. I have sciatica right now and wearing back brace. The thigh numbness has gotten worse over the last 6 months and happens if I stand too long in one place or sit with my back arched a certain way. Have you had medical imaging done of your back?

Hi Carol,
I had a nerve compression lumbar surgery and now my nerve pain is worse. The surgeons are now recommending a 12 hour front and back two day surgery to alleviate the nerve pain. I am not sure about this and have done nothing. I have had 3 consults with each surgeon saying the same thing. Don't know which is worse, and am struggling with what to do

@carol1024 Have had MRI of back. several past surgeries may be the cause.
