A member asked:
Two years after my lumbar discectomy surgery & pt, i still have the predicted moderate numbness in my lower extremities. ive heard anecdotal cases that improved the numbness. currently what types of treatment might heal this problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the numbness has been present before the surgery then the symptom is less likely improved after two years has passed. Good luck.
