Hi all!
I had a ACL reconstruction about 20 weeks ago with a patellar tendon graft. Generally, I am doing very well. I have full range of motion and have returned to most of my normal activities, i.e. Jogging, strength training, etc. I have very little pain in the knee itself; some occasional discomfort when doing more strenuous activities.
Within the past few days, I have started experiencing what I believe to be femoral nerve pain, which feels like electricity in the front of my quad. It comes in short bursts, with no apparent trigger. It woke me up out of my sleep yesterday morning.
Any reason why this would begin happening now all of a sudden and how to mitigate it? I read that it could be a result of the femoral nerve block from surgery, but not sure. Definitely a very uncomfortable sensation, any tips/suggestions are welcomed.
