What Causes Numbness In The Left Leg After A Gallbladder Surgery?

I had gallbladder surgery in January and have had 2 back surgeries. I had a back spasm about 2 weeks after gallbladder surgery. Since then I have also had left leg and foot numbness and the worst problem has been insomnia and tremors. I am also in my 7th week of hepatitis C treatment with a 12 week Harvoni treatment plan. I had tremors before but they are much worse since the back spasm. I have lived with numbness and back pain before but the insomnia and tremors are driving me insane. I am starting Klonopin .5 mg Friday. will that help either problem if it is caused by a pinched nerve. Also my doctor has ordered a nerve conduction test, will the test indicate if it is a pinched nerve?

Hello,

It is not related to gallbladder surgery.

If symptoms persists better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

Detailed evaluation is required to assess the exact cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
