My 17 year old daughter had appendectomy yesterday at 12 noon, immediately when she woke up from recovery she complained that her right leg from just above the knee all the way to her toes was numb. I went and got the nurse and she said it may be from positioning during the surgery and should get better. Well its now going on 36 hours and her leg isn t any better. Any thought?
Thanks for consulting in Chat Doctor Center. Your daughter spend some time in bed in not very comfortable for nervous ischiadicus condition, I feel she compressed right nerve, that's why she feels numbness. You can do massage of her lumbar, buttocks and legs, In addition, she should Chat Doctor.
