What Causes Numbness In The Foot After A Hip Replacement Surgery?
I woke up this morning with numb foot, just the right one. It has tingled and kept me unable to hold my weight. I am 61 years old and had my right hip replaced in June. I had a lot of complications with my wound healing. But it has been better for a couple months now. Also have a round bug bite looking thing on the top of my foot.

Hello,
It might be due nerve impingement or neuropathic cause.
As a first step, you can take analgesics for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
