I am about 2 1/2 months post op and pretty ok by now except for a few things. I had anterior surgery T11 to L3 and 1 rib removed.I am ok with the rib pain ( i expected it ) but the leg,thigh and hip stuff i did not expect and don't know if it is normal.My left thigh feels like a healing bruise and is too sensitive.My hip bone is the worst.It hurts alot.My whatever its called that is where my leg joins my body......i have some problems there as well. I still can't lift that leg properly and the connector piece hurts and does not move right. I can't even describe the weirdness of this area. All i know is it hurts. Some days i can't lift that leg up the stairs cause it doesn't work up there. I think the problems are in the hip maybe...i don't know.Plus that foot is so hot.And when i go tanning that thigh is like on fire.My other leg feels normal in the tanning bed but that one gets so hot i have to cover it.Weird. Also,i feel better about this one since i read about it,my rib area has that strange numb/sensitive feeling but then so does my stomache on that side too.Thank goodness i see the doctor Sept.6. I guess i am most concerned with this horrible hip pain and the part of my leg connecting to body not working right.
Any input would really help. Thanks!
