Hi- thanks for your question. I'm sorry you are not feeling well. It's hard for me to make comment without knowing your medical history, examining you, seeing your MRI pictures and so on- based on what you wrote I'd suggest that you talk to your neurologist about these symptoms. Neurological symptoms such as numbness, vision problems and others that come and go do not immediately strike me as something permanent as a complication of surgery- if one side of your body was constantly numb and weak, it might be attributable to the surgical damage, but coming and going these symptoms may be something else altogether. However, due to the fact that I have very limited knowledge about you, I cannot say anything for certain and I do recommend you talk to your own doctor about these concerns
