A member asked:
Following stomach surgery, what causes your leg to be numb and painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not surgery: If you only had these symptoms within a day after surgery, then it is possible that your position on the operation table was such that it caused some pinching of nerves in your low back. With time and medications for pain it is likely to improve.
