Kelly,

I am so terribly sorry for your circumstances. If you will allow me, I'd like to offer this piece of advice.

Upon waking up from surgery, I had no feeling in either leg... My right leg came back quickly, my left leg did not...

Post 18 months my pm advised acupuncture. This was the best advise I could have received. The dr. felt I could have improved far more had I come to him after 6 months instead of 18 months. If memory serves, I had acupuncture for about 6 months. 90% of the feeling has returned to my right leg, 60-70% to my left. My left ankle and foot still burn daily but most often I take no meds.

Though I could be wrong, I don't think acupuncture can do you harm but for me, it was a gift. It would be well worth your time and money to give it a try. A word of warning - not all acupuncturists are the same. Quality counts. This process is slow going. I went 3 times weekly to start, switching only to 2 times weekly after vast improvement. I think if I could afford it, I'd go again.

Good luck to you and I hope whatever remedy you try is successful.

Dale
