Hi Scamper, sorry to hear about your situation

I haven't heard of this before

I wonder why  u r going to see a plastic surgeon, has this been recommended by your specialist/surgeon?

In the meantime r u able to do some light exercise, ie jogging to help build up the muscles. Have u tried some physiotherapy.

Regards

Steve

Could it be nerve pain from the operation? Lots of areas are moved and disturbed during the surgery. I had groin pain for a few weeks after surgery and was told it was neuropathic pain.
I was prescribed Gabapentin for that.

It disappeared after a month or so. 

Hi, I had RARP last October & have lost most of the feeling in my left thigh apart from a slight "pins and needles" sensation if I press hard. My Consultant thinks it is nerve damage following surgery. I too am on Gabapentin (600 mg a day) although I was taking it before RP for neuropathic problems after 2 doses of shingles a few years ago.

I understand that leg pain is not that uncommon after Prostate Surgery, although it can often be short term. 

Hope you improve over the next couple of months, take care.

Hello

I am 7 months in and have pains in right leg which is the side where my drainage bag was only removed after 4 weeks .

I also have a feeling of numbness in my feet which I noticed after the operation

Hello 

I had very severe leg and groin pain that started a few weeks after my surgery, and continued for a couple of months. In the end it went away as mysteriously as it had arrived. I hope your pain goes away soon as well

Thank you ,am starting RT today due to a BCR.
