Numbness In My Foot Following Spinal Decompression Surgery
3 Answers
I had my spinal op last Saturday (8th Dec) and was allowed home on Monday 10th. I'm wearing the white elastic stockings and took them off to have a shower this morning. I noticed that my right foot is numb - the smallest 3 toes and along the outside of my foot. Is it because I haven't taken the stockings off before except when a friend changed them for me on Tuesday?
My foot felt strange while the stockings were on but I took it to be that they are tight and compressing my foot.
I'm rather paranoid about clots, and hope this isn't a symptom.

It is difficult to say whether your symptoms are a result of your spinal decompression or pressure due to your elastic stockings, but i would assume the former.
In either case it is early days, no need for concern, but just monitor the situation over the weekend.
