i just had this surgery for a herniated disc measuring 20mm from a fall. its been a slow painful recovery. i'm 2 months from surgery and have numbness on my left buttox, left side of my penis is numb, and still pain shooting into my heel. just a little more flexible on the leg thats it. the dr. said it takes 6 months for numbness to go away. i would like to know if this guy had knumbness.
