Has anyone here experienced partial or complete numbness/paralysis/severe burning in their legs as a consequence of lumbar spine surgery (without resolution in the short term post-op) ??? If so, does it get slowly better or is it something we have to live for the rest of our lives with?

Have you found anything (beyond Lyrica, Neurontin, SCS, acupuncture, steroids or plain waiting) that actually promoted your nerve healing?

I am 15 months after lumbar surgery which resulted in damage to my S1 nerve root. Sadly, I have not seen significant improvement since being discharged from the hospital.

Thank you for all your replies.
