Hey there W.T.,
God bless you for letting me know you exist. You are the FIRST person that I've found that has the same problem as me. It is friggin miserable living with this pain. I wrote a lot about it today after I got back from the neurologist and I posted it in "emotional support", I think. It's too much for me to re-type so please go check it out and let me know what you think. I CAN say that what they did was put that Bovie machine your leg and it bothered a nerve. You have "meralgia paresthetica". I talked about it in my thread and posted the definition, which I definitely fit in. I believe this is exactly what has happened to you as well. I don't think what has happened to us is actionable in a lawsuit since they couldn't know that placing that machine on our legs would cause nerve damage. And also, this is what every bypass patient gets. They place that Bovie on our legs to send electricity to their tools and after sitting there for 6 hours, the nerve in our leg was affected. Please go check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks again for writing.
