Postpartum physical ailments

Ji

I’m a FTM. I was induced at 41weeks, delivered at 41+1 after being 12 hours of labor, 2 hours of pushing, and a c section. I had an epidural. My daughter was 9lbs 3oz and I gained ~40 lbs during pregnancy. Recently, I’ve noticed that my legs are feeling numb/pins and needles-y more often. Especially when I sleep on my side. Also, if I sleep on my side, I get a dull pain on one side of my groin, which changes depending on the side I’m sleeping on. At first I thought it might just be normal recovery, but the leg part is getting more common. I reached out to my PT from a upper back/neck issue, who said i should reach out to a pelvic floor physical therapist since she doesn’t specialize in that. To me, this doesn’t sound like a pelvic floor issue, especially the leg part. Has anyone experienced any of this issues postpartum? I plan on reaching out to my OB, but just wanted to see if others had any thoughts/experiences. Thanks!
