Post-surgery numbness in the leg and lack of sensation during stooling indicate nerve involvement, likely due to L4-L5 spinal issues affecting the sciatic nerve and sacral nerves. In Ayurveda, therapies focus on nourishing the nervous system and improving nerve function. Internal remedies like Ashwagandha, Guggulu, and Rasayana formulations (like Brahmi Ghrita) help strengthen the nerves. External treatments such as Abhyanga (oil massage with Dhanvantaram Taila) and Kati Basti (retaining warm medicated oil over the lower back) can provide relief and promote healing. Panchakarma therapies, particularly Basti (medicated enemas), are beneficial for deep nerve rejuvenation. A personalized plan from an Ayurvedic practitioner is recommended.

After a spinal surgery, numbness and lack of sensation in the legs can be due to nerve compression or Vata imbalance. In Ayurveda, the treatment focuses on nourishing the nervous system, improving circulation, and relieving Vata dosha.
Treatment (Chikitsa):
Herbal Medicines:
Ashwagandha Churna: 1 tsp with warm milk at night to strengthen the nervous system.
Brahmi Vati: 1 tablet, twice a day for mental and nervous system support.
Bala Taila: Use for gentle massage on the affected area to improve circulation and nerve function.
Panchakarma Therapy:
Kati Vasti: For lower back pain, this therapy will help reduce Vata and improve spinal health.
Abhyanga Massage: Regular oil massage with Mahanarayan Taila or Bala Taila to improve circulation and reduce numbness.
Dietary Guidelines:
Include: Warm, nourishing foods, ghee, nuts, and root vegetables to support Vata.
Avoid: Cold, dry, and processed foods.
Lifestyle:
Yoga: Practice gentle poses like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Vajrasana for back health.
Pranayama: Regular practice of Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) to balance Vata dosha.
Please follow this regimen regularly for noticeable improvements in sensation and strength over time.
Shubham Bhavatu!

That sounds really uncomfortable and concerning. The numbeness in your leg and around the anus after your L4-5 surgery could be due to nerve compression or irritation, which might've not resolved yet. In Ayurveda, this might be related to a vata imbalance, as vata governs movement, the nervous system, and sensation.
It's crucial to keep your doctor updated on these symptoms since post-surgery complications involving numbness can require specific medical treatments urgently. Please make sure you follow up.
In terms of Ayurveda, I can suggest a few things to support your recovery, if your doctor agrees. Firstly, calming vata is really vital now. This means regular routines, warm meals, and grounding practices. Eating warm, cooked foods like soups or stews and avoiding raw and cold foods can help balance vata. Using warming spices like ginger, asafetida, or cumin in your cooking is great.
Abhyanga, or oil massage with warm sesame oil, can promote circulation, though be gentle on the affected areas. Massaging your feet and legs lightly might bring some relief, just stay away from areas that feel sensitive. If you can, avoid late nights as they aggravate vata. Create a routine that involves early bedtime to help regulate the nervous system.
Also, practicing gentle yoga movements can help, focusing especially on grounding poses like gentle forward bends or lying down postures. Pranayama with a focus on long, slow breaths can assist in calming the mind and influencing nerve health positively. But please, do cross-check with your doctor or physiotherapist to ensure safety. Any strenuous or inappropriate activities should absolutely be avoided.
While these suggestions align with Ayurveda's principles, remember they're complementary and should be considered alongside professional medical advice. Your health safety is the priority, so follow up with a healthcare professional is essential to get a complete picture for your recovery strategy.
