output: hello I can advise you in detail if I have your detailed neurological charting including assessment of motor power sensory charting of lower limbs and evaluation of deep tendon reflexes also latest mri of is spine is required to see for adequacy of decompression to answer your query the best results come early after the spinal decompression surgery if motor loss can be ascribed to compression in spinal cord or roots also intensive physical therapy helps you to gain power but since you have started gaining power it can continue for at least more months so my advise to you will be to continue with intensive physical therapy including muscle stimulation vitamin b12 intake and come back to me with your neurological charting and mri films so that I can see and advise you further
