      I too had LND in groin this year in April, I have 50% loss of feeling in my thigh.  My surgeon said it could be temporary or permanent.  He had to go in and around alot of nerves for the surgery, he took 28 of my lymphe nodes out (all were negative!)  I have gotten used to it too, I wear my compression stocking and my "biker shorts" to help with the swelling of lymhedema.  I can't walk for long periods without it swelling up.  I am sure we both may have permanent nerve damage.  I am hoping mine will get better over time.  Good luck to you and your husband, I am stage 3B.  Teresa in Indianapolis
