I ve had two low back surgery about 4 or 5 yes ago. I m 50 yrs old. Ever. Since I ve had the surgery my left leg goes completely numb with severe low back pain right where I had L5 and S1. Its gotten so bad I m afraid I m gonna be in a wheelchair in a couple of years. We timed me I can only walk 15 to 20 minutes. Till I have to set down with severe pain. Can you tell me what I can do I do go to pain management in Tulsa. But I m suffering. Help please. Their doc said there was nothing they can do for me but pain meds but it ain t doing it for me. I also was told today by my hubby its bruised badly where my pain is.
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As you have a past history of operated spine two times, and now you are 50 and the doctors said they can't do anything. Do not feel sad, there is always a way, I will recommend you to consult a physical therapist, as by the help of him, you have to perform exercises to strengthen the muscles and get relief from aches and pains. Also, on a long term you will be able to walk as well. Physical therapist will understand your needs and the physiological demands of the body to get the functioning back. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
