It's 3 weeks since my hip surgery & my right side of my leg from my middle to outside of my leg is still very numb. driving me crazy. is there anything i can do to get rid of this?

This could be due to a nerve irritation during the surgery and this takes time to recover. Nerves can take up to a year to heal so, unfortunately, it just needs more time to get better. There really is no way to accelerate this healing process. You can apply ice or heat to the area, whichever feels better, to get some relief. Good luck!
