A member asked:
I had back surgery 3 yes ago, just this past saturday my left leg started hurting, getting worse and going numb, just wondering if i should go to er?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: Sounds like nerve impingement pain.You certainly should get this checked out immediately especially with it coming on so suddenly and if your doctor cannot work you in, the ER will be your best bet. Pain relief and diagnosis will be the benefit
