Spinal Nerve Decompression Surgery – Resolution of Symptoms

Transcript

If the surgery is successful, there should be a resolution of shoulder and arm pain if the procedure was performed in the neck, or there should be resolution of leg pain if the procedure was done in the lower back. This is usually immediate, but may take a few days to improve. Usually leg pain or arm pain is the first thing to improve. Issues with sensation or loss of feeling or weakness, those kinds of findings can take weeks, months, or even years to improve in some patients.
