Numbness, and inability to extend leg below knee following THR

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.

That’s my niece felt jelly like for a while. I really found aqua fit classes has helped me gain back leg strength
At the six month mark seen things seem to open up for me. I was able to walk for long periods of time. I am now at the 9 1/2 postop. Mark and I can walk several miles. However, I still have some numbness on the side of my knee and I do get a burning sensation on and off. I think it’s just going to take a while before the nerves to completely heal.
