I had bilateral fusion along with 2 disc removal in February. I had no leg pain after surgery after suffering for 18 years of agony. 3 1/2 months of physical therapy 2x p wk, had me much stronger, but still suffering with a compression pain in the L5 area. Surgery was at L3-4, 4-5. I fell outside on the front yard in May, fell again into sand in July and now I m having horrific pain on left side where I landed both falls and pain down the back legs, into the heel and now new experience spasms up the front of left leg. The pain is worse now than before the surgery. I have also spinal stenosis, osteo pina, bulging disc, and my L5 doesnt look good either. My pain dr. wants to do the nerve ablation and I m not sure it is going to alleviate the horrific pain which has brought out a major depression that I am fighting with. I filed for disability and continue to get denied. I am 54 yrs young and have worked 38 yrs of my life and havent been able to work in the last 8 months. I am at my witts end and cannot feel any long effecting pain relief in the future. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you , Vee
