I am new here and I can't find the subject I have.
I have a Small fiber Neuropathy getting IVIG INFUSIONS. I was told by a Neurosurgeon whom I trusted. ["PLEASE find Mayo Clinic, small fiber neuropathy and Hip Surgery"] before your hip surgery. My nerves in the whole hip were damaged badly from my groin down side my thigh, totally numb, hot and hard-that was 6 months ago! I can not go in the car! I get painful electric like shocks in that entire area. My legs very stiff, extremely cold. pain is so bad in my legs I can hardly walk. Leg pain, that my husband can hardly touch my legs when putting lotion on them. I yell out! This surgery had a domino effect from waist down. Anyone have the same experience? Please research before hip surgery if you have S.F.N.
