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.
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
