Reply To: right laproscopic inguinal hernia surgery with numbness and pain on right leg

Thanks ajm222 for the reply. I am still worried. As I read some scholarly journal articles saying that if the numbness happens immediately after surgery as in my case then it may not go away as compared to happening few days after surgery which shall go away as that is due to inflammatory response of the body. Once the inflammation stops the numbness goes away. It makes sense. If the nerve is trapped it shall never go away. But if it is due to inflammaory response it should settle down with time.I also read that this complication is more common in laproscopic and not that much in open procedure. Thanks for sharing words of some hope.
