What causes swelling in the feet after a cervical spine surgery?
Patient: hello my husband just had his C,3,4,5,6 done the Dr said it was very bad when he got in there, but before surgery he could hardly walk and numbness were already in feet, with hands fore arms, bothered him to touch huskiness together and siatica bothering him, all symptons pretty much are still here and it seems he is getting weaker , my opinion, and my main concern his feet are swelling it has been 3 weeks since the surgery Thank you Doctor: Hi,  The feet swelling is not related to spine surgery. Honeywell have to rule out conditions like DVT and cellulitis as these can cause swollen feet. Consult a physician and get evaluated.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards,  Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
