@ruby460 I also wanted to share this link with you in case you could also have another condition that can cause the similar overlapping symptoms in addition to your spine issues. This is a technical article about Lumbar Plexus Compression Syndrome. There are a lot of good articles on this website written for physical therapists.

Is Lumbar Plexus Compression Syndrome something that you are familiar with? This may be something to discuss up front with your next specialist or explore this with a physical therapist to see if anything can be resolved or to narrow down a diagnosis that is spine related.
How long has it been since your spine surgery? What was the expectation for recovery in this time frame?
