Numbness, and inability to extend leg below knee following THR

I had nerve related pain following my surgery in September 2022. The only thing that gave me relief was a drug called Pregabalin (Lyrica). If you haven’t been taking this I would recommend you as your doctor for a prescription. It was a game changer for me.
I still have some areas of my knee that feel numb but no real pain.

Hello. sorry to hear about your nerve pain. Does you knee feel jelly like? For instance if I kneel down on the bed, it feels very strange. The numbness in my leg has not changed and my surgery was 3 months ago. I am trying to be patient waiting for my quadricep muscles to come back so that I can extent my leg. I can walk around the house now unassisted but I am constantly worried that my knee will give out and I will fall.
