Acl surgery - numbness

[Edward.]

i got my surgery exactly two months ago and a part of my knee is still numb from it. i know this it happens most of the time and sometimes is permanent, but to anyone who had acl repairs, when did the numbness go away for you?

 

[Shadows]

nerve damage? some goes away, some doesnt.

 

[Tinga]

if they did a local block for you they probably screwed up some of the nerve cutting so yeah some of the nerves wont grow back and youre numb forever

i was told before the surgery there would be a numb spot and its still there. i think it decreased in size very little but its still very much there. its not completely numb but its enough to not feel a pin prick.

ahhh 666^

i broke my kneecap and had surgery and the entire left side of my knee is numb..hasnt gone away in 5 months and my surgeon said it might stay forever

Yeah, I got the patella bone patella surgery for the acl and my surgeon said id always have a numb spot on my knee

idk if you got the same type of surgery or not- but i know its fairley common for all types of acl reconstructions. not to worry brotha

ah man I'm in the same boat, i had my surgery about 2 months ago and still cant feel about a 3x4 sq. inch area below my knee haha. It takes a while though, I've had this happen before and it really just takes forever.

 

[papasteeze]

same with me. no feeling directly in the area of the scar.

mine is still numb as well. Almost a year out of surgery.

 

[brokebutitsworthit]

mine is reduced for about half my kneecap, it was completely numb but came back slowly like 6 months kinda thing

It took about 3 years from my reconstruction for 85% of the feeling to come back and now there's only a small spot on the lateral side of my scar that is numb.
