How To Cure Leg Pain After Falling Down With A History Of Back Surgery?

Hi, My name is Gennie and I am 73 years old. Last May 2013 I had back surgery (L3 & L4), felt wonderful after surgery. In October of 2013 I fell in my kitchen while the floor was wet. Since then my right leg has been very week. While walking and using stairs I have much pain . When I sit I can only lift mu leg about 1 foot. In February 2014 another surgery was performed (L3, L4, L5 & L6). The nerve pain has subsitted but my right leg still hurts, I limp all the time.

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your query in detail and understand your concern.

REPEATED SPINE SURGERIES WONT GIVE YOU 100 % RELIEF.

SOME NERVE INFLAMMATION WILL STILL REMAIN.

USE A LUMBOSACRAL CORSET WITH FRAME TO AVOID WEIGHT AND PRESSURE ON THE NERVE.

ANALGESICS AND LOCAL HOT FOMENTATION WILL HELP.

GET A FRESH MRI DONE

Hope your query has been answered

Nothing to worry about, You should eventually get back to normal.
