Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As your doctor said it may be fine after the surgery, and there may be osteoporosis,due to steroids, or the age and recurrence of the spine problem,causing the pain of the thigh or the leg.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically. mefenamic acid and calcium supplements.
Avoid taking potato, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
