4 surgeries on lumbar spine Posted: 07-17-07 08:58am
Hello everyone, I am so glad I found this
forum.
I'm 39 and have had 4 surgeries on my
lumbar spine.
Am about to have another one. UGH
The one I am about to have and the last
one I had were/are fusions
fused together already are l4 and l5, and
soon l3 will be added to the mix.
I was wondering if anyone has had a
problem with just while walking through
the house, you lose all feeling in a foot
or the entire leg and just fall???

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are going to have
another surgery. So far I'm in the first
stages of finding out just what action to
take. I have a bulging disk laying on a
nerve root. Stenosis, 6 verterbra in
lower lumber instead of 5 hooked to the
sacrum causing even more pain, anyway as
to your question about going numb, it
struck me because just last week I was
getting groceries out of the car. Well,
Iwas already down the last step, I had my
footing but then my whole left leg went
numb and my left foot just sort of dropped
to the side and down I went landing on my
right knee on rocks and cut it up. It was
not a good feeling, I hope the best for
you.
