Spine surgery: You had a spinal fusion since feb 18, 2013. It has been more than 7 months. How many levels of surgery and what type of fusion? Increased numbness in the lower extremity and progressive neurological symptoms several months after surgery is not normal. You need to discuss this issue with your surgeon to prompt further evaluation. Medrol (methylprednisolone) dose pack, gabapentin, physical therapies are also recommended.
