Hi rdd001,
I am Holly...Had RC and neobladder on 3/13/07. Noticed in your post you mention a damaged femoral nerve that makes it hard to walk. Your surgery was only 2 monthes before mine, and I too have great difficulty with one leg....There is tons of "pins & needles" feeling in the inner thigh and other sharp sensations at times. I can walk as long as the movements are slow and going forward. If I have to move fast or go to the side, pull the leg in - well it ain't pretty and is frustrating. I am starting physical therapy next Friday to try to help it. Have you tried anything that helps? I keep getting told nerve damage may start to heal itself after 6 months and that it is likely from the position I was in during the surgery. I am 42 and it would be nice if I could think about walking normal again
Good luck and Take care, Holly
