3 weeks ago I had surgery to remove my ovaries and tubes due to endometriosis. Supposedly, my Dr. had to call in a specialist regarding adhesions were wrapped around my intentines. The surgery was approx. 3 hrs instead of 50 min. That evening I noticed numbness in my left arm between my shoulder and elbow, feels like it is bruised, and numbness in my left upper leg. I checked with my Dr. on the post op appointment a week ago and he said well my legs were in stirrpus for 3 hrs and he didn't know why I had numbness in my arm. The IV was in my right arm so it wasn't that. Also he mentioned about some kind of nerves in my leg that were around the area they removed adhesions. But he was not concerned. Well I'm getting a little concerned because it is not going away, my arm feels like it is asleep permanetly. Has anyone had this experience after this type of surgery? Thanks for your time
