About three months after surgery, I began having stange sensations in my left
foot. Although my
foot is numb, I feel needles/pins, electrical impulses, and feelings of burning in my acheles, left side of foot and little toe. My PA said that when you have surgery in the S-1 area, the nerves are moved in order to get the cage in. I assume that nerves were damaged or cut in my back during surgery. My doctor said it might take a few months for the feeling to come back.
