Nerve pain in leg?

alkinney

I had a cs just over 2 weeks ago.  About five days ago I started feeling like a tendon in my left leg was going to snap.  (hard to explain, really).  It goes from my groin area in my left lg to my knee.  When I stand up it feels like something is stretching too far (inner thigh and knee).  I feel like its nerve pain, however my dr. Didn't think it is bc I can still move and don't have numbness.    I can still move, I just have periodic pain, and it definitely hurts when I stand up.  The motion of standing up really hurts.

 Has anyone else experienced this?

no but I have heard of some people having issues like that after the spinals.  If it keeps up I would call the dr. again.  Theirs all resolved themselves after a little while.

Thank you.  I sure hope it fixes itself.

have you talked to your doctor about the possibility of it being a clot?

Having recent abdominal surgery puts you at high risk for blood clots, especially in your leg. I had a really awful one, and it hurt worst when I stood up. It was accompanied by some swelling, but many people have no symptoms.

It probably isn't but do rule it out with your doc. It never occurred to my doctor to check me for a clot when I came in with leg pains.

I have nerve pain but it's the outside of my leg.  That's where most nerve pain is felt.  I had it way before the c/s though I did have 2 other spinals while pregnant.
