Suggest Remedy For Foot Spasm
Hi, My father has recently been having a foot spasm where his leg will twitch forward and back without any control. His leg then will feel like dead weight and he falls over. This is happening around 2 to 3 times a day. He has been in hospital for 3 weeks where he has had MRI scans and a lumbar operation. The results have been all clear and they have sent him home on some medication. He is still falling over and having the leg spasms. Can anyone help with what may be wrong?Thanks,Brad.

hi,
as mentioned by you, that your father has undergone the lumbar spine surgery, then what surgery he has undergone for? Also, this is more like the irritation to the sensory and motor functions of the nerve. Also, what were his symptoms before the Surgery?
I will advice to undergo physical therapy as it will help improve the strength in the muscle and also to regulate the disturbed neural impulses. also with the use of an electrical stimulation the activation of the muscle can be performed.
With the grace of God I wish your dad a good health.
