Weakness And Pain In Left Leg After Robotic Hysterectomy And Lymph Node Removal

I had a robotic hysterectomy, including lymph node removal, about 6 wks ago. The night after my surgery it was impossible for me to move my left leg toward my right leg while lying in bed. The first time I walked after the surgery my left leg felt weak and there was tingling in my foot. I also experienced aching in the leg and pain in the groin area together with low back pain. The pain has diminished but I am still unable to move the leg laterally while lying on my back and I am still experiencing weakness in the left leg when walking. It seems to take more effort to lift the leg. I have my final post op visit with my surgeon next week.

Its a post operative complication. Please contact a physiotherapist as certain exercises and movements can make things better for you. Avoid doing too much stress activities and take rest.
