Pain in leg after spine surgery
My mother is 56 years old , 5 feet and her weight is 85 kg . She has sugar, thyroid and BP issue. She had spine surgery (L4,L5,S1) on 2nd May 2025 . Even after 12 days of surgery , she has pain in her right leg - thigh and mainly on shin bone when she sits or start walking. She also had little numbness in her right leg and feels heavy.
She can move her both legs , ankles and toe fingers. The bowel/urination is normal.
She did not have this pain before surgery .
Is it normal to have leg pain after surgery? What could be the reason behind this pain and solution for issue ?
