There is hope even when you are ready to give up!

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I was a member of this group a few months back. I have had 3

surgeries. The latest was back in May on the 29th. I had a rather

severe herniation which rendered much of my leg numb and weak. It was

a quick onset and I had surgery about 3 days after it hit me. This one

really got me down since now not only did I have constant pain in my

foot but I couldn't feel much of the back of my leg and about 1/2 my

foot. Well I just wanted to join the group to say don't give up hope.

Now after about 4 months I am still getting some feeling back. I

really didn't think that was likely. I was pretty much resigned to the

fact that I would have a bum leg the rest of my life. I still have

numbness from about my upper calf up along my hamstring and many parts

of my foot. But I am gaining strength in the leg and getting more

feeling back. It can happen to you to.
