Suggest remedies for weakness in legs after spinal cord surgery
Patient: good doctor,it s been four month now i have spinal cord surgery in this prestige hospital,after the surgery it seems that my condition has improve after a month but now my leg or the way i work is becoming weak.please advice me. i m from nigeria.thanks Doctor: Hi,Spinal cord surgery can lead to delayed complications like you due to fibrous scar / thickened ligaments or tendons / slipped discs from other sites due to weakened spine. Any of these could have caused you the post operative problem. Physiotherapy would be ideal management in such cases, also, give results. In case of no relief, repeat surgery may be needed but such surgery has more risk of complications. Please consult your surgeon for personal advise. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
