I have numbness in my lower back . Any one else have this happen?

I was in the hospital for 3 months due to many complications after surgery 5/17/02. Among other things I developed severe bed sores. My bottom had no feeling all across from left to right where the bed sores were. Now the numbness is moving up to about my waist right along my spine. I know there was nerve damage from the bed sores and the lengthy stay in a hospital bed. I have visited my chiropracter several times with no relief. My PCP says feeling should eventually come back.He also said the rapid weight loss caused the center of gravity to change on my skeletal system. Just wondered if any one else experienced any thing like this? It feels so weird and my tail bone really hurts. I have tried exercises to strenghen my back, but this increases the tingling sensations. Please give suggestions. I checked the library and couldn't find anything similar to this.
