I had my appendix
removed a few weeks ago and now I have alternating numbness and pain on the
right side of the incision. The pain goes down to the right thigh and groin. What
is wrong with me?
It sounds like the
surgeon may have damaged one of the nerves that runs just near the edge of your
incision. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do for the pain, but you can
sue the doctor for damages. I would recommend getting the medical chart and
taking it to a good lawyer. The surgeon was simply careless. For your pain, try
neurontin or lamotrigine. It may help. In some cases, time may ease the pain.
But sure looks like a good malpractice case against the surgeon. Good luck.
