Hi

I had L4/L5 decompression (lamina and disk) a couple of weeks ago due to spinal stenosis and a bulging disk causing severe back and leg pain.

Prior to the op I had mild numbness of the left big toe however following the surgery I now have numbness and foot drop in my left foot and a small amount of numbness in my right foot.

On the plus side I'm no longer suffering from the severe leg pain I had previously although by the middle of the afternoon I do have moderate burning in both legs.

My questions are
1. Has anyone out there had this problem?
2. Will it get better on it's own?
3. What are my options?

I've a doc appt tomorrow so any questions you can think of that I should ask would be greatly appreciated.
