After thoracic spine nerve compression surgery, the symptoms of pain can be relieved and gradually recovered within 2~3 weeks after the surgery, while the symptoms of numbness may take 1~2 years to gradually recover, or may not even recover. Compression of nerves in the thoracic spine may lead to pain and numbness in the corresponding areas, and the symptoms of pain can be significantly relieved after surgery, but the symptoms of numbness are caused by the long-term compression of the nerves, and it may take 1~2 years for gradual recovery, or even may not recover. It is worth noting that the symptoms will be significantly relieved within a short period of time after the operation. However, in some patients, symptoms will reappear and keep worsening 3 to 5 days after surgery. This is due to re-tensioned edema after the compression is released. This symptom will be gradually relieved and disappear within 2~3 weeks after the operation.
