[|Human|] Just had lumbar microdiscectomy L5-S1. 6 days post op I had an erection and ejaculated and shortly thereafter I noticed pins and needles in my foot and slight pain in my left calf, right knee and buttock. Could this be related and cause a problem?Thank you.Joey
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. Some amount of tingling and numbness is common after such surgery and this is because of either irritation of nerve during surgery or some time it can be due to collection of blood over nerve root.  I would suggest you to follow these .1. Rest2. Tablet Gawain NT one daily at nighttime.3. Tablet Pregabalin one daily.  I hope your symptoms will improve in a week or two. Otherwise, you can go and discuss this with your doctor. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
