Had Spinal Fusion Of L3-4. Developed Hematoma And Legs Paralyzed. Had Infection, Staphylococcus Epidermis And Staphylococcus Warneri. Cure?

Welcome to XXXXXXX Thanks for your query.
First off all I wish you a speedy recovery.
Now coming to your problem.
You have degeneration of the lumbar vertebras and severe disc space narrowing.
This degeneration and disc space narrowing impinges on nerve roots and the spinal cord.
This effect creates neurological deficit(like neurological pain, muscle weakness and muscle wasting) in your lower limbs.
The problem with this is if intervened his progresses and causes more limitation.
Physiotherapy is the mainstay of treatment.
Medications like Gabapentin may reduce the neurological pain.
If needed it has to be corrected surgically.
Hope the answer helps you.
Pleased to answer other queries.
