What Does Numbness In The Leg After A Knee Injury Indicate?

Hi, I fell and broke the lower part of my femur{ leading to the knee} and had to have a knee revision. One month after surgery I was discharged from rehab. When iwent home about a week after my entire leg got numb and painful like pin and needles, from the hip to my foot only on the outer part of the leg. I also have spinal stenosis in L2-L3 and L4 I have fusion at L5-S1. I had an MRI which showed these conditions and als a bulging disk at L2. Why is my leg numb still even after an epidural.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can take Tramadol and paracetamol combination 2 times a day for five days. It is due to nerve injury so you feel numbness, you can take multivitamin and multi-mineral drug for once a day for five days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
