What Causes Severe Cramping And Tingling Down The Left Leg?
I just had a disk fusion L5S1 10 days ago. All went well and initial pain was only surgical. now I am experiencing severe cramping down left leg and tingling in the left foot. i did not have this severe pain before. Is this part of the healing process and can it be caused by swelling?

Hello,
Continuous tingling sensation 10 days after spine surgery may due to compression of nerve at or near operated site.This may be due to occurring swelling due to some other reason.I will advice you to consult to your surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari
