Suggest Remedy For Weird Sensations In Groin And Leg After Surgery
Hi (Long story cut short) I had L5/S1 disc surgery last year and had quite extensive nerve damage I have been suffering horribly the last few months with movement in my left leg and pain and I still don t sensation in a lot of the leg (ie the needle test I don t have feeling and I have numbness etc.) the last 3 days I have had a new unusual sensation in around my groin area on the left leg and right around to the buttox and when I blow my nose it gets worse any suggestions?

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, as there is history of L5 S1 lumbar disc spinal surgery, the current symptoms of weird sensation groin and legs do indicate post operative residual nerve weakness or compression most likely. After a thorough physical examination, I recommend an MRI of the lumbo sacral region for he final diagnosis and cure accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
