Seeking Others Who Experienced Post Op Leg Numbness

Beginning the second day post-op, still in the hospital, I experienced some numbness on the outside of my left leg just above my knee that felt like burning, then pins-and-needles. At the time I associated it with a shot they gave me in my left leg a few hours prior that burned, and the feeling went away. It came back a couple of days ago (now I'm at home) and went away. Now it's back, and it isn't going away. I'm just wondering if this is something typically related to surgery, or if it is unrelated.
