re strange or differing sensations postop
Betsy,
After my 2nd discectomy (first one at L5S1/good results) which was at L4 done percutaneously in '92, I had all kinds of odd sensations like water running down my legs, numbness, tingling, feeling like ants were crawling on my legs, usually had just pain in the low back and buttocks. Much burning throughout lower extremities which was the only thing that made it so difficult to deal with except when the numbness made me look first to make sure I was actually moving my leg/foot.
I've never had this vibratory feeling before. It's odd but not unpleasant in the least. I've been having it in my toes for weeks now, off and on but just started in my fingers about 2 weeks ago, again, off and on.
Hopefully it's not a sign of anything for either one of us, altho it is a new symptom for me.
I'm sorry to hear you're not doing well. I hope you're just having a flare up that will resolve soon and progress can continue~
