Hi all
I am 8 days post ACLr with hamstring tendon graft. The surgery went fine and I am on track in terms of strength, ROM targets.
I underwent the surgery with general anesthesia and a femoral nerve block.
Parts of my quads/thighs are still numb and I am having a sharp pins and needles sensation (almost burns to the touch) throughout my leg, from my inner thighs to my calves and ankles.
Anyone else had any experience with the same?
Have not met the surgeon, but his assistant doc changed my dressing today said this is regard to surgery trauma and should resolve over time.
I checked with a few other friends who underwent ACLr and they did not feel this sensation.
Any help or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks
