Year ago had an issue out of the blue, left foot and lower left leg paralysed, pins and needles all down left side and nerve pain that was off any pain scale, worse than anything I’ve ever encountered.
Surgery followed few weeks later, surgeon prognosis was main left nerve root supplying left leg had suffered intense long term damage from a bone growth. Recovery if it ever happened would be a long time in the making.
Fair to say my recovery has been rubbish, I’m a year in, it’s better, but still a million miles away from good. Nothing has helped, physio had to concede there was nothing they could do, I’ve had any number of triggered failures from the nerve damage and surgery, including blood clots in the affected area.
I’m in a much better place now, pain free and finally feel like I’ve turned that magic corner.
But the nerve root is still slightly cooked, I still don’t have full control of my foot, can’t run or even move quickly to be fair. Balance is a bit of a problem too as is mobility, stamina etc, overall it’s still mostly rubbish, but better rubbish 🙂 .
At the moment it feels like I’m doing the insanity run, doing the same thing every day whilst expecting a different outcome.
So anyone here had a full recovery from major nerve damage ? I do so hope someone has.
