Laminectomy Back Surgery

Bernice Said:

What could cause my left leg to go completely numb when I lie on my back? Prior back surgery?

We Answered:

There's a pinched nerve in there somewhere - you need to speak with your surgeon or doctor as soon as possible.

It can cause blood clots if you ignore the problem.

Go to your doctor - they are usally easier to speak to than your surgeon.

Ramona Said:

I just had back surgery a few days ago...why is part of my leg numb?

We Answered:

That's serious. If they did something to your back, and your leg is numb, they might have gotten a nerve.

What happens in a post-op lower back surgery, laminectomy/micro-discectomy to correct herniated disk?

We Answered:

Sounds pretty normal to me. I've had two fusion surgeries. You should let your surgeon know when you are there for your follow-up.

You may want to ask him about something like Soma for the spasms by just calling them and telling them about them. They will help prevent them.

It's pretty common for the pain to be there for awhile but not the pain that feels like it is burning. That one you shouldn't be having. Here are 2 sites you should check out. And good luck recovering.

roller coaster after back surgery?

We Answered:

A roller coaster jerks your body all around At high speeds. This would be far too much on your back. Don't even think about doing this. There's many other things to do in the world that can cause pleasure without Pain.

You will be absolutely fine.
Intially you will be under anelgesics and then you will feel slight to moderate pain till couple of weeks

Later, improve you activities follow proffessional instructions and as you get back to daily activities of life you will be fine.
