hi,
thank you for providing a brief history of you. well if you had a surgery and now feeling the weakness in the left side I will advice you to meet up a physical therapist who can help you with the EXERCISES so that your muscles becomes strong. you can take an advice of the surgeon as well who operated you. if needed you can undergo a scan which can reveal if any abnormality in the spine is there or not? right.? it's always better to take consultation rather landing into bigger issues.
