Sending some prayers your way, Mike.
If it helps ease your mind: My 86 year old grandfather just had a similar surgery yesterday morning. He even had the numbness/tingling too. He had broken a vertebra about a year ago, and was getting progressively worse. They were able to successfully release the nerve and fuse 3 vertebra together.
If they can fix him, a young dude like you should be a walk in the park! You got this.
