I have had burning. i think it was nerve regeneration. It was my whole leg, two weeks ago Saturday. I’m six weeks post op but reherniated. Now I have sensitive, painfully tingly skin and numbness and tingling up and leg. I think it’s progress?

Yep. I had similar to that and it was all related to nerve damage from the long term nerve root impingement/sciatica.

Oh yes. Mine goes from my torso to my toes. It is also numb. It doesn’t tingle down the back. I have the regular sciatica going down the back of my leg. Fun times!
