Is Muscular Pain Normal After Abdominal Hernia & Bowel Resection Operation?
I had an abdominal hernia & bowel resection operation 3 months ago and in the last week have started getting muscle pain in my upper thigh which feels numb to start with and then as if it is burning without heat, this is usually worse after I have been walking around. Should I be worried???

Hi and thanks for the query,
Some persons do experience some post surgical pain and transitory nerve sensation loss. However, in case the pain is so intense of sensation loss of feeling of heat is so intense, drugs might be needed to be prescribed. Vitamin complexes to favor nerve regeneration and pain killers like non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs could be prescribed. The opinion of your operating physician could be important. kind regards
