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.

These prescribed medications are efficient postoperative of disc operation. You must do the instructions. If pain not fully controlled, you may increase gabapentin to 600 mg daily.
