Had Surgery For Replaced Hip, Lower Leg Feels Numb. Swelling And Bruising Is Gone. Normal?

Is it common to have the lower leg of a replaced hip, feel a little numb? it almost feels like it is still bruised. Tender and not quite have the same feeling on the skin as the other leg. I had a hemaglobin crash after surgery and ended up having to get 4 units of blood. Surgery was 17 days ago, all swelling is gone, most bruising is gone, with the exception of the calf, which is still black - that parts feels great to the touch.

Hi
Thank foe choosing HCM, this is neurological problem is nothing to take your surgey because it is almost 17 years gone since you have gone through the surgery, there must be a some dorsal spine never compression and for that you need to consult to some orthopedic surgeon in short this is not a big problem it will come around have a good day.
