Numbness in lag and foot

by mendelp, May 11, 2009 12:22PM
I had surgery for a herniatic disk 2 1/2 weeks after the pain got severe.  The right side of my buttocks, back of my right leg, my heel to the middle of the foot and down the outside to the little toe went numb.  The surgery did not releive the numbness at all.  It has been 5 weeks since the surgery and no change in the numbness.  Will the numbness go away?

Hi and welcome to the back and neck support forum.

I was told that nerves can take up to 2 yrs to heal completely.....but as far as what condition ur nerves are in ur dr should have given u some estimate as to recovery and healing.

Did ur dr rx a PT schedule?
