I had knee surgery back in March and I have numbness from the top of my knee to about midway down my leg. I think it all depends on what nerves were involved. I would ask your doc at your follow-up appointment.
thank you for your response... Ihave another appt monday and will ask him. Are you still numb? Have you gotten any of the feeling back?
Hi,
Hope you underwent ACL(Anterior Cruciate Ligament) reconstruction for knee by arthroscopic method.
It is normal to have similar type of complaints initially for a week to ten days.
The numbness feeling would usually disappears in due course of time.
Hi
If the numbnessis alongside of your incision then it is because of it. The nerves get cut during the surgery. You don't always get the feeling back. I have had 12 knee surgeries 10 of which were open and I still havent gotten the feeling back from my first open surgery in 2002 The pain is prob because of all thee work that was down.
Good luck
