    Sorry No, I just had a revision discectomy at

    L5/s1 and seem to have s1 nerve symptoms still even after surgery numbness in my last two toes numbness in my calf and weakness gastrocnemeus and soleus muscles. My first surgery was in 2010 I thought at the time up until May 2015 was the best thing I ever did until I herniated my disk in the gym and went to top ortho surgeon in NYU hospital I guess even the best assumed doctors don't do everything right

      Hello nanna,  Hip revision is total hip replacement my second hip surgery and thats the chance you take when you have surgery is possiable nerve damage I have sciatic nerve damage . You should ask to see neurologist to see if you may have nerve damage maybe also knee xray good luck let me know what you find out.

      Take Care
