Is Limping Common After Synovial Cyst Removal?
I had a synovial cyst removed L5-S1 about 3 months ago. I am completely out of back pain. I have been going to physical therapy for 2 months. I am walking with a limp. No one has the answer as to why. I am frustrated. Is this a common thing with this kind of surgery.
