numb thigh?

Since having my DD I noticed a patch on my upper thigh that feels a bit numb and itchy. I hadn't mentioned it when the MWs came round as I didn't think it was related, but at stupid o'clock while feeding Haiden it suddenly occured to me that maybe it was an injection site. I had pethedine and the one to expel the placenta.

I was a bit out of it(!) so I don't know where I was injected and OH doesn't know either

Any ideas? xx

    i have the same problem with my thighs, a patch on each leg for the same injections as you mentioned. i gave birth over 2 years ago and apparently have muscle damage from them using green needles instead of blue. It often makes the whole top of both thighs completely numb and hurts when i press on the areas.
