Dear patient
Detailed history is needed regarding 1. What surgery was done 2. Why it was done 3. At what spinal level it was done?
If surgery was done to remove compression of spinal cord by disc then result should be fruitful. If there was myelopathy already before surgery then results are not good. Was mri done and if done what was the report? Please give details of this question and then only I can guide you regarding further care.
