Why do I have leg numbness after back surgery?

Patient's Query

I am a 25 year old male who's had back surgery. I have numbness and burning pain in my legs and I'm not getting any relief.

Answered by Dr. Deep Chakraborty

It is not good to fee­l numbness and burning pain in the legs afte­r back surgery. These fe­elings happen because­ the nerves ge­t irritated. This could happen because­ of swelling or pressure on the­ nerves. It is important to tell your surge­on about these fee­lings. The surgeon may give you me­dicine or suggest you to do exe­rcises to feel be­tter.

I’m 22 years and I’m having thigh ache and I used pain relief last month and it stopped but now it’s aching me again

Female | 22

Thigh pain can be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, overuse, or even bad posture. Sometimes, you're sitting for too long, and you'll feel your thighs are hurting. Alongside this issue is that you are sitting for a long time and your thighs hurt. Do some light stretching, and apply heat to the affected area. Be active and avoid long periods of sitting down to allow them to feel well.

My father is extremely overweight and has COPD and Emphysema, can he have a hip replacement

Male | 78

YES, your FATHER can have a hip replacement surgery.. However, his weight and lung problems can increase the risk of complications during and after the surgery. He will need to work closely with his doctors to prepare for the surgery and manage his conditions. Losing weight and improving lung function before the surgery can help reduce the risk of complications and improve the outcome.. It is important that he follows his doctor's advice and instructions for a safe and successful surgery..

Male | 30

You should visit and have your doctor or an orthopedic specialist who will help in determining the condition. Whether you can drive a car comfortably depending on the severity of your injury and how soon your healing progresses could not be determined.

Three months after hip replacement surgery, it is not uncommon to have swelling. But in case of pain or redness connected with swelling, the orthopedic surgeon should be consulted. They might instead refer you to a joint replacement specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

Mild pain in left testis and left leg

Male | 23

The pain might come from a varicoce­le, like a varicose ve­in in your testicle. It slows blood flow and causes aching. To he­lp, wear supportive underwe­ar and avoid standing too long. But if pain worsens or you notice swelling or change­s in your testis, see a doctor. This rule­s out serious problems.
