What Is The Cause For Numbness In My Leg After Surgeries And Hysterectomies?

Hi, I have had many stents then kissing stents that then collapsed and they grafted my aortic, illiac and part of my femoral arteries. I then had blockage on the good side the rt the left has re-blocked and cannot be fixed. I was doing well on the rt side but about a month in I got blocked from the knee down % 50 now since yesterday my rt leg is going numb and is beginning to hurt, should I call a doctor or just wait it out till tomorrow.... I would like to add that I have had 48 surgeries many to my abdomen including hysterectomies etc... could the scar tissue be the cause, I also have Sceromyxedema if that helps

Hello

Thanks for the query

Numbness in the leg after surgeries could be due to the anesthetia. Especially spinal anesthetia. It looks like you have a significant medical history which has to be seen in detail in order to rule out other causes like peripheral nerve disease or a peripheral vascular disease. Please get back to me with the details.

I hope I was of help

Regards
