A member asked:
I recently had ankle surgery. shortly after i started having severe symptoms of cauda equina. i am now having issues with healing the surgery wound. could this be caused by the nerve issue?

If you are having symptoms of a drop foot you need to seek medical assistance immediately. The cause could be more distal if a tourniquet was used. If should discuss this with your surgeon and/or neurologist. The symptom could be temporary.

If you do have cauda equina syndrome, it has no effect upon post op healing from ankle procedure
