Tingling in Hands

Anyone have this sensation post surgery? I know the nerves are still healing 2 years post surgery, but should I be concerned? I mentioned this to my doc and he said to just monitor it, but this is the second time this has happened and I can't pinpoint why

  Really...mine did a MRI post op at 1 yr as it is something they always do regardless of how you feel....as it can show if there are any changes...some  can come on so gradually we do not notice symptoms, so always best to check.

Keep us posted on this MRI and make sure to get copies of it on disk and a copy of the report.

It has happened twice now. The first time it lasted a week the second time it lasted 2 days. I go in for my 1 years MRI in October sometime. My doctor didn't even want to do a 1 year since I was doing so good then I emailed about the tingling and he decided to go ahead with it.

  Hi...it can be a number of things.....a bulging disk pressing on a nerve, scar tissue that developed post op....

Have you had a MRI post op?

How long does the numbness last, is it constant?
