Thanks a lot! I had surgery about 3 weeks ago, my Doctor didn't tell me those information 😞I felt too afraid. And still I have more numbness and week left leg after the surgery! I am afraid if I had a failed sugery in L5S1! How I know if it failed? Should I take a new MRI? Does it show if it failed or not? Many thanks for answering
Surgery is always scary. I am always trying to develop better ways of informing the patient but I realize surgery is never something people will look forward to, ha ha. When you have surgery on the sciatic nerve/nerves they manifest numbness and tingling in the legs at least for a few weeks. Most likely your numbness is a normal finding in the type of surgery that you had. You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon when you see them again. An MRI would most likely not be helpful at this point because numbness is probably a normal finding. That’s another good question for your surgeon. Thanks for the comment. I hope the remainder of your recovery is Uneventful and you have excellent results.

Is there
a maximum BMI for this surgery?
No specific BMI. Depends on the individual anatomy and if the equipment will reach.
