How long did it take to recover after second surgery?

I had my first L5 S1 MD in October 24 which greatly improved my pain which was near debilitation at that time going down my left leg

But in the aftermath I got a constant neuropathy numbness in my left big toe which has been constant.

I, on the advice of my neurosurgeon (first MD was with an orthopedic surgeon) got a second MD in Sep 25.

Both my surgeries made me feel a little better I guess the first MD made me feel dramatically better but my neuropathy has not improved at all. Maybe very slightly improved.

I was curious if anyone has had the same experience post MD in terms of getting numbness in toes (neuropathy) and if they recovered?

I know it takes a while but just looking for some encouragement or positive stories.

Apologies for bad grammar and sentence formation!
