Q: 

How long does it take for a nerve block to wear off? My mom had left hip replaced and is 93 years old. No feeling that she needs to urinate until too late. Not normal

Hello Anon
Thank you for writing.
Your mothers nerve block should have worn off within a day of surgery. You need to contact her doctor about this as there should be no side effects by now.
Best,
Susan
