I am just over 4 weeks since my surgery and my legs are still killing me. My muscles ache and when I lay down the groin area on my left side goes numb. I am walking about 3/4 of a mile 3 times a day and trying to do some light stretching but it is still pretty bad. I didn't start having the leg pain until about 6 days after surgery. Then it was really bad and my legs would cramp up. While I am not cramping up and it is tolerable if I move around a lot during the day, at night I can't stand it. I have been taking percocet and vicodin, but neither one really seems to be workng amymore. I am lucky to get 3 - 4 hours sleep a night.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to deal with this besides whining and taking it out on my significant other?

Thanks,
