Suffering From Pain And Numbness In Leg And Knee

my left buttock and thigh are numb. I also have pain in leg and knee. The left side is very weak and I have fallen several times. Three months ago I had surgery for a piece of disc that had broken off and lodged against my nerve, but nothing else has been done except prescribing me Gabapentin and pain meds.
