The numbness and swelling of the feet even after two lumbar spine surgeries may be caused by factors such as nerve damage, compression of nerve roots and incomplete recovery of the condition.
1. Nerve damage: It may be due to the fact that when the patient was performing lumbar spine surgery to loosen the nerve, it caused some stimulation to some of the surrounding nerve tissues, resulting in localized damage to the nerve tissues, which caused numbness and swelling of the feet after the surgery.
2. Nerve root compression: the patient’s nerve root and the surrounding tissues produce adhesion after the operation, which also easily leads to the phenomenon of postoperative numbness and swelling of the feet.
3. Incomplete recovery: After surgery, the patient’s body needs some time to recover, and when the patient’s condition has not fully recovered, numbness and swelling of the feet may also occur.
When the patient has numbness and swelling after two lumbar spine surgeries, it may also be related to other reasons, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time and make judgment under the guidance of the doctor.
