Question :
Hello Doctor. I just had a baby 3 months ago. I gave birth naturally and did not use any other methods to give birth. After giving birth, the doctor gave 2 injections into both thighs. When I got home, I found that the right thigh, the upper part of the knee, was a little numb and did not feel a small area, it was painless to touch. I think the injection hasn't completely dissolved, but it's been almost 3 months now and the area is still numb and a bit painful to press. So please ask the doctor what's wrong with me?? Thank you doctor.

Hello! Through her description, the cause may be fibrosis, peripheral nerve compression, peripheral nerve damage - that is, very small nerve branches that conduct sensation from the thigh area to the brain. When the drug is injected, it causes damage to the sensory nerve branch because it is injected directly into the nerve or because of bleeding in the muscle, because the injected drug accumulates and compresses the nerve, causing numbness or mild pain.
Complications of fibromyalgia after injection can occur after antibiotic injection and occur many months after injection. You should go to the hospital to be examined by a doctor and do some exploratory tests to accurately assess and treat in the best way. Sincerely.
