Why after having a Spinal fusion Xlif and a cyst removed would I have left groin pulling right thigh numbness?
Groin pulling may be due to misalignment of pelvis or muscle tightness of anterior thigh muscles (quadriceps, adductors) Thigh numbness: Front of thigh: Irritation of the L2 or L3 spinal nerve by inflammation in/around nerves. After surgery can linger for several months to indefinitely. Tight quadriceps and/or adductors can also cause numbness. Back of thigh: As above, but L4, L5 or S1 nerve irritation.
