As I am discussing surgery for my Lumbar scoliosis at the moment (L4-T12), I have been having a strange recurrence.
My spine curves to the left just so this will make more sense. In the past couple of weeks the horrible scoliosis related pain I have been experiencing for the past year seem to subside and instead I have been waking up almost every night, sometimes couple times a night with the left side of my body completely numb. It happens only on my left side as far as I can remember. It is worse in my left leg and hip, my leg would be completely numb like a sack of potatoes. Second most numb place when this happens would be my left arm and I can also feel it on my scoliosis hump area of the left side of my back. So basically left toe to left side of neck all pretty much numb.
I had numbness in my left leg exactly about a year ago but it was only in my leg each time. About a year ago it happened few times than stopped. Now it's more spread and happens more often..
I can still feel a bit of the numb sensation all over my left side even hours later.
Is this familiar to anyone? Is there an explanation? Is it a symptom for anything? Is it normal because I have scoliosis..
