Hyterectomy Done. Hips, Legs, Knees Paining. Thigh Numb And Tight After Surgery. Advised To Stop Work Out

I run/walk about 5 miles a day & am on my feet at work. I had a lap. hysterectomy in late April, and went back to work a week later. I was on my feet for the month of July teaching. Now my hips, legs & even knees are really killing me. I have run & walked a lot for the past 5 yrs....but now walking kills me. My stride has shortened, my upper left thigh is still numb & tight since the surgery. Otherwise, I have been just fine. I am 62 years old. Doctors say to quit working out . I don't want to. And am otherwise in great shape. I want to blame this on the surgery. Am I right? Any ideas?
