Neurosurgeon: I recommend consulting a neurosurgeon or the specialist who performed your procedure to evaluate and advise you. An MRI will most likely be recommended as part of the evaluation. Don't delay if actual leg muscle weakness is setting in. Pain and numbness is one thing, but leg weakness is very worrisome and could become permanent.
