[|Human|] Experiencing numbness and pain around waist up to the ribcage. Soreness if pushing on stomach from one hip to the other, Feels like an intertube around stomach. Had back surgery 60 days ago to fuse one vertebrae and scrape bones. Legs are still numb after surgery. Doctor says it is all from the back.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, possibility of compression of nerves due to spinal issue is more likely. Numbness, pain on dermatome area is characteristic feature of nerve compression. So get done repeat MRI spine for this. Physiotherapy, pregabalin and vitamin B12 tablets are helpful instead some cases. Application of ice packs on affected area is also beneficial. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
