Hi, hoping you can answer my question. I have a herniated disc, a bulged disc and a extruded disc ( I am currently waiting to see a neuro surgeon but now I also have neorugenic muscular atrophy in my leg and have been told by my doctor that if my foot drops I need to go straight to the emergency room. I didn t ask my doctor what happens if my foot drops? I know I will lose use of my leg but will I get use of my leg back after surgery? Thanks Lisa
Hi Lisa. Thanks for giving us an opportunity to help you... Since you know that you have a isogenic back pain, and you know how worse is it... so you can be prepared for the management as well. You can definitely get your foot back even if you had a foot Chat Doctor. .so don't worry. If I were you I won't wait till anything to happen.... I would fund a good neurosurgeon to get my disc workup... Untill then.dolor of icing frequently to reduce pain and spasm.send lit if time in lying in my stomach with pillows placed under my chest...at least 4-5 times in a day for 20 mins... Do start my core strengthening exercises... Do start my gate recruitment exercises. These exercises help to cope up with current situation and also to aid in early recovery post surgery... Hope this is helpful for you... Kindly revert in case you need any further help in this regard
