Patient's question:
My father had a hernia surgery three months ago, and the anesthesia time before the surgery was very long. Half a month after the operation, he experienced numbness and swelling in his calves. Now he has knee and calf pain and discomfort, and his thighs have become slightly thinner. What are the postoperative anesthesia complications?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the patient has been three months post-hernia surgery. Symptoms such as numbness and swelling in the calf appeared half a month after the surgery. There is knee and calf pain and discomfort, and the thigh has become thinner. Currently, these symptoms cannot be definitively linked to anesthesia, and it is necessary to go to the local hospital for examination and confirmation. If there are objections to the treatment, it is recommended to apply for an evaluation at the local medical appraisal institution. Currently, symptomatic treatment is needed, along with the use of neurotrophic drugs.
