Several years ago I slipped a disc at L5/S1. I had a fusion and made a good recovery. Recently I decided to return to work and I saw a physiotherapist to help with inner core strength. He brought my legs to my shoulders and bounced on them. I immediately felt a weird sensation in my legs. I cannot feel the ground through both legs and I cannot drive because I cannot feel the pedals in my car. My physiotherapist says I will get better in a few weeks and my GP has just offered me stronger pain killers and could not comment on this problem. I am worried because I have severe back pain higher up my back than the problems I had at L5/S1 and am cannot feel the ground. I am worried that I have nerve damage what should I do?
Hello, Since this happened after attempting some sort of exercise I would recommend seeing neuro physician without delay, probably you have severely compressed nerve or even cord might have got compressed. You will need an MRI to have look at your spine. Hope this answers your question. Regards.
