Hi,

Two weeks ago, I started having burning pain in my thigh. I also have tingling and pain on the side off my calf and into my foot. I went to my doctor yesterday for my three month checkup after hip replacement surgery and I was told it was neuropathy, the nerves coming back to life. Woo hoo, i get to be one of the small percentage of patients who get this. The doctor said that it could take 6-9 month to go away. I was wondering what you did for your foot neuropathy for all those months. Did you do physical therapy or take any medication?

Hi cat,

I'm sorry for what you're going through. Quick question. Has sciatica been ruled out? Your symptoms sound similar to mine when I had sciatica - pain and numbness in my hamstring muscles and calf muscle. I did not have pain or numbness in my foot, but that can be caused by sciatica.

Anyway, just something you might want to ask about. Be well!

Joe
