Re advice
I would definately try to get a 2nd opinion even if you have to pay cash or get it out of your locale. Also I think you should have had that MRI a while ago but as soon as possible would be best. Is the color and sensitivity of your foot intact and the temperature? For a simple discectomy that's not a normal outcome altho I'm sure does happen. I would hope here in the states the attention paid to the outcome would be better but that may depend on the surgeon's response and insurance status. Am sorry you are going thru this. Even with use of crutch with non functional foot you need to keep the rest of the leg active so as not to lose muscle and tone so PT can give you exercises for this if you're not already doing some.
