Could numbness, from L-5 impingement localize to feet?

The surgeon didn't want to order the after surgery imaging. Perhaps he didn't appreciate anyone suggesting that the surgery was at fault. And it probably wasn't. Sometimes, especially with weaker bone, the screws migrate.
The original surgeon wasn't involved with the revision.
I do wonder why it is difficult to get imaging ordered with some physicians.

Unfortunately, any of your considerations could be possible... Was it a knee replacement, my understanding is the perineal nerve comes off the sciatic nerve around mid knee. Your friend could request a CT scan. There less expensive than MRI and are great for imaging with hardware...
