Question Posted By: Araine on Friday, March 29, 2002
Tuesday (March 26), I had my gallblader removed, as it was diseased and full of stones.
Since then, my left leg has been numb. I can't feel it, except just a little bit. I called my surgeon, and he said it's because the belts they use to strap me to the operation table were probably too tight and pinched a nerve. This sounds kind of dumb to me though. I have no bruise or marks. Wouldn't there be some physical sign if a belt was so tight?
It is now Friday, and my leg is STILL numb. It's annoying and sometimes painful.
Has anyone come across this before?
