Upper thigh to knee numbness

[MariaMcG]

Hi Had 2 stents LAD 10 day s ago. Have noticed numbness gathering in my lower thigh to knee, feels weird, like pulled muscles or deadness. My left arm and around my back has a constant dull ache and slight deadness or heaviness in it. I still experience a bit of mid chest discomfort and breathing exertion like prior op. Also I have bouts of constant tremors for hours. Anyone else experience this?

I have a small patch of numbness on the inside of my right knee which I woke up with following open heart surgery 14 weeks ago. It is very slowly regaining sensation.

Yes this appears to happen to a lot of people, but so far I see only people who had heart surgery not stents.. Maybe the jiggling about with the heart causes it! Get better soon x

I hadn’t heard of it happening to anyone else until I read your post. It is definitely improving, along with all of the other aches and pains.
