What Causes Swelling In Leg And Numbness While Urinating After Hernia Surgery?
I am female age 47. I just had umbilical ventral hernia surgery 30degrees days ago. For two days now my right leg from my knee to my toes are swollen my big toe looks to be turning black. In middle of right calf when I walk feels like a charlie horse. Cannot sense the feeling to urinate not able to feel to push to urinate. Hernia is located at end of stomach muscle towards belly button on right side. What and why is my leg swollen.

Hi there.
There could be possible swelling due to the surgery or lymphatic or venous obstruction. It can also be a clot. I suggest you consult your surgeon as soon as possible regarding this as it can be dangerous if not treated early.
