Dr Corenman,
thank you. the article was informative and helps me better understand the physiology of the nerve compression- what exactly happens- and, in turn, how it recovers and heals (hopefully!) over time. I appreciate your response.
the femoral neuropathy developed along w/ the enlargement of the AAA. I didnt connect the two initially but my primary physician, an internist, said that its likely that the growing aneurysm was placing pressure on the nerve or on the organs to the nerve causing the neuropathy. I have read that function resumes in as few as 3-4 months or up to a year depending on the severity of the compression and how long the nerve was being compressed. I was looking for guidance from a neurologist on length of repair he/she has seen in their professional experience. thank you
