I also have the leg numbness and pain (especially pelvic pain-burning). My surgeon said there was nothing left for him to do so I went to my primary care doctor. They are sending me to a neurologist! They are pretty sure I have something called RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy). The only way to know for sure is to see a neurologist who specializes in RSD. I have a constant burning feeling deep in my pelvis and right groin. The skin on my right leg is numb for the most part but if I pinch it, the pain "shatters" through my whole thigh. It's a very weird feeling! All I know is they say it nerve damage and it could be from having 7 abdominal surgeries in the past 2 years! Try going to a neurologist and see what they say. I'm hoping that there is something besides pain medicine to help me! Good luck!!!
