Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Your problem in the left leg is no way related to your
Hip replacement surgery of the right hip.
As per the description, all your symptoms suggest a degenerative
disc disease of the
lumbar spine with compression of the neural elements.
The conservative management of degenerative disc disease is as follows -
* avoid lifting heavy weights as it imparts more strain on your back
* avoid forward bending activities as it will worsen the disc protrusion
* Use a lumbosacral back support to augment your spinal muscles
* Intermittent pelvic traction to cause a regression of disc
* Maintain optimum body weight,if you are obese
*
Physiotherapy to strengthen your back muscles. Physiotherapy has to be done only after the acute pain has subsided.
* Judicious use of analgesics and muscle relaxants.
If all these measures fail to provide you relief, then surgical decompression may be an option.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
