question: Hello, I am a 43 year old woman who had emergency surgery (caudai equina L5S1) six years ago and subsequent disc degeneration leading to further herniations of varying severity from L3-L4 through S1-S2. I was left with almost complete sensory loss in all areas innervated by L5-S1 and now am loosing sensation in other areas (primarily at the levels of L4 and S1-S2). I have cervical degeneration as well and compression at C2-C3 C4-C5 but C6-C7 shows central stenosis causing muscle weekness, sensory loss extreme pain etc. I have a neurostimulaor, morphine pump, oral meds etc. Is there any known link between petechiae in the lower extremities in areas where there is prolonged sensory loss? My feet and lower legs (both) are covered in petechiae. If I put my leg under my rear and apply pressure i.e. my body weight I get a cluster or red resembling a bruise that lasts for weeks despite only having applied moments of pressure. thank you for your time.
