Hello,
I had a spinal fusion on 6-15-06 and they nicked my dura in 2 places and said I had huge epidural veins (NS said I would have bled out iif they were nicked )so only did L1-2 L3-4 and skipped L5-6...and I had to lay flat for 5 days and was in hosp 10....anyway my pain has been much worse since the surgery and little by little I am getting numbness in many areas starting with left hand and arm, and of course in random places on feet and legs and these past 2 weeks it is in both butt cheeks and pelvic areas and I am getting scared! Has anyone else experienced this?? If so did it get better?? Thanks in advance!
