Had a c cection on march 31st and ever since my right thigh feels numb and pain when i push on it and random stinging feeling?

R L3 nerve problem: During your c-section i presume you were awake with a spinal or epidural. The anesthesia may have caused a right sided compression on the lumbar -l3 nerve to your right thigh causing persistent numbness, pain, 'stinging' . It should improve with time but an lumbar MRI may help sort out the diagnosis. Hope you are better soon!
