Hi Carol,
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you’re facing after your surgery. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot, and feeling isolated can make recovery even harder.

Has anyone experienced extreme leg weakness and foot numbness after spinal surgery? How did you manage these symptoms? What exercises or therapies have you found most helpful in regaining strength and mobility?How have you coped with the emotional and practical challenges of limited mobility and not being able to drive?
Hopefully, this will spark some responses from those who can relate to your experience. Please know that you’re not alone, and we’re here to help.
Kind regards,

I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!

Hello 👋
I had surgery in March to remove a synovial cyst in my spinal canal. The excruciating nerve pain ( medication was very sketchy) is gone but I am left with extreme weakness in my legs and numbness in my feet. Moving around is problematic and I have been unable to drive either.
My surgeon and physiotherapist advise 12-18 months work to regain normal strength.
I feel very isolated so wanted to reach out to see if people out there were on a similar recovery journey?
Kind regards,
Carol
