In November I had a extended THR, it took three hours, and I was on my left side for the whole three hours. For pain relief I had an epidural, which was put in place before the General Anaesthetic was administered. When the needle was going in I felt a 'kick' to my sciatic nerve in my left leg.

When i awoke from the anaesthetic, I had some pain in my left foot. Few days later on standing and moving around I had pain/tingling, in my calf and foot..this eventually settled in my calf, but now I have constant numbness and pain in my left foot, spreading from the toes, on top and underneath, down the sides and down the middle of my sole.

I have previously had and have had removed a Mortons Neuroma (MN) from the same foot. Is this pain nerve pain A) from lying on my side for three hours, B) from the needle going in and nicked the Sciatic nerve, or C) could it be another MN growing? It is certainly much more painful than the first Neuroma I had. How long till I'm free of pain?
