HECK YES!
Some background: got an epidural steroid injection a couple days ago to "treat" my chronic spinal pain. It caused rare swelling around the injection site that is pressing onto spinal nerves. Needed to go to hospital due to possible long term nerve damage and to monitor my neurological symptoms.
With IV anti inflammatory and a tiny injection directly into the site yesterday, I woke up today with feeling in my leg again! Due to this, I'm allowed to go home at 6PM or even earlier depending when all tests are completed and when I get my new spine brace.
Leg and the injection side on my back are still sore. Without my leg braces and crutches for a couple days, I wouldn't be able to walk or even stand for extended ammount of time.
Depending on how tired I am when finally at home, I might even be able to stream a couple hours for ExtraLife 2022 like I promissed!
If everything goes to plan I'll be live at twitch.tv/dunothar (7pm central european time) streaming at least 1-2 A Link to the Past Randomizer Seeds and a bit of V Rising.
Won't have the best layout, was going to tinker yesterday but hospital was more important.
Anyways, hopefully see ya all! and keep in mind: No matter how shitty your situation is, there are always people willing to help and support you as best as they can!

Hope you have a speedy and full recovery, OP!

Many thanks! Hope so much that it gets better... Worst 10 weeks in my life so far.

That'd be weird if you had no feeling in the leg, but got a cramp in the leg.

Next to no feeling. Needle pokes on the foot felt not painful but like someone was pressing with a finger onto it. Standing was impossible.

I will be, in 2 hours! Now getting my new spine brace fitted. Can't wait to be at home again!
