Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have spondylolisthesis, scoliosis,with severe bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. When I walk and step with my right leg and my knee starts to bend it is like I have no leg there at all. I do not have any loss of strength in my legs that I have noticed. At times it is worse than other times. Am I going to lose the use of this leg all together? I have been trying to get help for 4 years now and I am still waiting for help. How long do I have to wait?
Hi Hope this message finds you in good health. I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern. SPONDYLOLISTHESIS NEEDS TO B TREATED WITH A good lumbosacral corset,rest ,analgesics,physio and exercises. If symptoms aggravate,needs to be treated with surgery. Nothing to worry about. I hope your question has been answered. If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime. Thanks,Take care,God bless.
