What Causes Pain In The Lower Abdomen And Leg?
I recently had surgery on my ovaries (1 week ago) and I'm experiencing pain on my lower right abdomen as well as pain on my left leg from my thigh to my knee. It hurts just to touch it. I was told the lower right abdominal pain could be due to a cut nerve, is this what is also causing the pain on my left leg? should I be concerned or is this normal.

Hi.
Thank for your query.
This is not normal to have pain in the lower abdomen and the thigh after surgery on the ovaries.
The possibilities are :
Nerve entrapment
Herniated disc now causing the problem after an unrelated procedure as during the anesthesia the body is loosened and can pronounce the effects of the pre-existing prolapsed disc.
Get an MRI of the lower spine and the pelvis .
The treatment will depend upon the findings.
