Hello, 47 yr old female,not in best of condition due to immobility for the last 3 yrs weight gain, I had multi level surgery 02-2013 L-1 L-2, L-3 L-4 fused and immediately I noticed The numbness and pulsing electric shocks in upper left thigh, and top of left foot. The back spasms originated lower levels, 2 months later now in middle thorasic. I cannot stand longer than 10 min. or walk more than 2-3 car lengths without spasms, and needing to sit down. When I sit for longer than 30 min, the pulsing shocks starts and spasms as well. I take according to my pain management doc the tops on all my meds, the Zanaflex 4mgs 4 times a day helps take the edge off. hydromorphone, hydrocodone, lyrica, all keep me around an 8 for pain, at my worse it's a 9. When I try to move in bed it is horrible even now I scream it hurts so bad. My surgeon thinks I may have addtl damage done in my neck as well this time it is DDD. I also have a more recent issue of body temp control? past menopause already, I constantly sweat at night, wake up soaking wet, Cant get a straight answer about that. The pulsing and throbbing of left leg is concerning surgeon seems like he is perplexed, I cant lay on that side either get same results. I have seen neuro, my surgeon is ortho. I had mild stroke after 1st surgery left side affected, 2nd surgery 2 weeks ago to remove battery and electrode, in order to be able to do a 2nd MRI. If the numbness is due to stroke how long would symptoms last? and advice would be appeciated. I have gotten overall worse miserable.
