Rob,
Upon waking up from surgery, both of my legs were completely numb. Right leg came back quickly, left leg remained and still remains problematic.
I was told that during surgery, my nerve root was 'irritated'. Exactly what that meant -?????
My pm basically agreed. It's now been almost 5 years and at this point, any residual damage is probably permanant, especially, there's been no substancial improvement for 3 years.
My life is my family, friends and artistic endeavors, not very trying physically. Pilates, treadmill or swimming do not present any difficulties so the return of early pain was surprising... Very disappointing
Dale
