What causes foot numbness after undergoing hysterectomy?
Patient: I had a hysterectomy a week ago Im doing great but after 2 days of surgery I start feeling my right foot numb, the doc see me yesterday and he said he doesnt know, he doesnt think it is anything to do with the surgery, he is gonna see me on friday again to remove my stitches and see how im doing with my foot but i feel the same and, Im walking im been really active Im doing good with the surgery except this problem with my foot numbness> Im really worry about it is really uncomfortable. Doctor: Foot numbness should not be related to your recent surgery.I would want your doctor to look at the lumbar spine for possible "pinched" nerves, and the peroneal nerve (which can cause numbness at the top of the foot).
