A member asked:
Had gallbladder surgery 4 days ago. my left thigh is constantly numb & tingling. no changes by moving or stretching. worse sleeping. what's wrong?

Maybe: Possibly due to positioning of you or equipment during your surgery--creating pressure and resulting in this finding. If so, "should" resolve on own in few (more) days--but, should mention to your surgeon and ask for official opinion as to source.
