What Causes Tenderness And Numbness On Thigh After C-section?

I had a c section for my twins 2 weeks ago and have noticed a tenderness and numbness on my outer left thigh. It sort of feels a bit bruised but also numb, it s a peculiar sensation. When I was in hospital I had a shot of morphine in this area and was wondering whether this sensation could somehow be related to this shot? I am also worried though that it could be something more serious as I ve read some horror stories about blot clots post c sections. Should I be concerned? What should I do?
