I has a hysterectomy this spring. When I woke up I was in sever back pain and my right leg was paralized. My left leg was partially paralized. I was diagnosed with femoral neauopathy which caused the paralysis. I was also diagnosed with annuular tears to my L4 and L5 disc. (MRI was completed) I undrstand the femoral neauopathy was caused by the retractors but I do not understand what was done to leave me with annuulr tears during surgery. I can not get a straight answer out of anybody. Please help. Please explain.
