I think you all are speaking to me. I had an anterior hip replacement in August 2022. Everything was going swimmingly until the middle of October. I started to get burning pain, electric shock sensation and numbness in my foot. I went to see my doctor at 2 1/2 month instead of 3 months because it was so painful. The xray looked normal and the doctor said that it was probably meralgia paresthetica and that nerves heal slowly. I knew that nerve damage was possible, I guess I thought I would not be in the small percentage that has nerve pain. I have tried Lyrica and Gabapentin - the only benefit from taking those medication was that I felt lousy while taking them so I did not think about my thigh. I have had one nerve injection which helped for a week or so. The worst part is trying to sleep, the burning is worse at night. I had nerve damage about five years ago resulting from pelvic surgery. It took about a year for that to subside after doing physical therapy for the pain. I think the next step is a possible nerve ablation since the steroid shot was a dud.
