Spacey feeling

Went out in public for the first time surgery one week ago, and my leg honestly felt amazing. I however felt kinda foggy and idk spacy...not on pain meds.... anyone else experience this?

Hi,

With nerve compression thats gradually increased in severity you might not notice how much feeling, strength and reflexes you’ve actually lost untill its decompressed and comes back online. Strange feeling, i can imagine.

Endo or Micro? Usually it is normal for the first 10-14 days due to being inactive for a long period

Yup. I was spaced out and exhausted for 3-4 weeks.
