Sensory motor loss : Surgical side effects should not last this long. Either problem is independent of this surgery and just happen to be at post surgical period or related to problem for which surgery was done or surgery itself. You should talk to your doctor who will have better understanding and may seek help from neurologist and/or EMG.

Nerve root irritatio: You may have nerve root irritation following surgery. I would see my neurologist or orthopedist to get a definitive diagnosis
