It was just a day or two, I never thought it was from my back, that's why I went to the foot doctor. He ordered a nerve scan and found it was coming from the back where the surgery was done.
The surgeon said it is just the nerve that had been compressed so long that it will take about a year to heal and come back to normal, then the pain and numbness will stop. I'm really starting to wonder as I am not getting any better.
