inner thigh numbness

[Lenlec]

hi all. Noticed a small area on my inner thigh is numb to the touch about 10” down from my puncture sight in groin after my ablation last week

Is the fairly common?

Anything is possible in that area but why not speak to your arrhythmia nurse if you are worried. Very early days yet of course.

[Lenlec in reply to BobD]

Yes I will bob. Cheers probably not there on a Sunday ?

Just felt in that spot on my own leg and couldn't feel anything but could feel when I scratched that area. See if you can feel a scratch.

hi yeah can just about feel a scratch very strange feeling only a small area

[jeanjeannie50 in reply to Lenlec]

I think you may live, but it's worth mentioning to someone medical. A nerve in that area may have been damaged.

[Lenlec in reply to jeanjeannie50]

yeah. You maybe right. Probably nothing they can do about it ? May settle down this week

I had 6 puncture wounds at my ablation as they struggled to get catheter in. Yes I had an area of odd feeling but it gradually wore off. As Jean says probably nerve related Len but worth asking. UCHW nurses usually set ansaphone but will ring back eventually xx
