I'm relatively early in my recovery. I had surgery 1/22/08. The numb left leg and arm only started post-op. The numbness in the left leg sort of peaked about a month post-op and has gotten better. The left arm thing only started late March/early April. My surgeon is not concerned and thinks it will go away. Once it took hours to go away. I contacted my surgeon, worried, and he didn't think it was a big deal.
It still happens pretty frequently. It gets worse when I am in certain positions, like on my back with my head turned to the left. Unfortunately, you don't pick your position when you are sleeping. I frequently wake up on my back with a numb left arm during the night. I'm sure it interrupts REM sleep.
Have you had surgery yet?
