Re: siatic nerve? hip injury

I just had my second hip replacement surgery 2 weeks
ago. I am an active 53 year old female. My first hip replacement was done 18 months ago. During my first hip replacement Doctors found out my hips were never formed right at birth. I never had any problems during my life time until I reached age 50. I was an active walker, bowler took part easily in any physical activity. Now during my 2nd hip replacement surgery my Siatic Nerve got streched. Therapists have fitted me with a splint that fits in a athletic shoe only to wear when I am able to walk full weight bearing. Any other suggestions I can do to heal the siatic nerve. Doctors can't tell me a time period as to when feeling will come back. Right now I have numbness in the top of my foot up my schin and down half of my calf. Thank You Kaylene
