Did anyone lose feeling leg after laminectomy surgery?

After I have my MRI next month they will review my scan and decide which neurosurgeon would be best to handle my situation. My current neurosurgeon said he wouldn't do another surgery until I had an EMG. I was just so sick of being cut and poked that I opted to try the pain clinic route which appears to be coming to and end as the spinal stimulator doesn't seem to be working. I bump the stimulator up 3 points every 3 days. I don't feel the increase but obviously it is doing something as the next day I had pain in different areas. Today has been the worst day as I can't stand up straight without pain going down my leg.

When they did your L1-L5 levels, did they fuse them? Or did they just clean up some bone growths/trim disc bulges? Do you have hardware in your spine? If they didn’t fuse, you may have instability which may be causing movement of vertebrae and compression of spinal cord/nerve roots/nerves.
