I'm 5 weeks today post op, and just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I still don't have full feeling in my left knee and my left leg is weaker, I have no problems on my right side (large fibroid was on my left side).

Also I have just had a bath and when I was washing my left leg I noticed a large circle marking on my left knee that looks like I've had a suction on it, I've not had this mark on my knee before.

I have been to the doctors today and I have mentioned about my left leg being weaker and she has just said to see how it goes as I've still got a bit of healing inside to do.

So if anyone else has experienced weakness and the mark on the knee should I be worried.

Thanks

Hi. I'm 5 months post op and the feeling is only just starting to return in my stomach which is nowhere near the scar itself. I guess it's all part of the healing process. If in doubt return to your consultant. I did and it was just a result of surgery. Good luck x
