A member asked:
If i had spine surgery 3 years ago and my leg and back still feel numb .what could be still the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numbness in leg/back: Unfortunately one has to consider nerve damage either from original problem or as result of surgery. Did you have numbness prior to surgery? At three years it is likely permanent if no further impingement on nerve is seen.
