Hi @timbo1

A very warm welcome.

You could seek a referral from your GP, to get an appointment with the surgeon, who carried out the operation.

You could also seek a course of physio, again via your GP.

I have not had the op, but have reduced power and numbness in neck and limbs,due to nerve root entrapment.  I declined the operation.

You could also consider a pain management programme.

It’s a matter of finding something that can assist you the most.

Don’t give up or suffer in silence.

Hope this helps.

Stay kind and be safe.

Hi @timbo1 Welcome to the community.

There could be lots of reasons you are having numbness in your hands and legs and I would encourage you to speak to your GP. We are unable to give medical advice as we are not medics here and I know you are just asking for similar examples but this could lead to you getting all different ideas.

Good luck I hope you find the answer
