Hello,

I have studied your case.

Yes you can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS therapy will help
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

You may need to do MRI spine again to see for nerve compression
It may take 3 months time for complete rehabilitation after surgery.
It also depends on type of surgery and pattern of operation.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
