Suggest Treatment For Pain In Legs And Feet After A Spinal Decompression Surgery

I have very painful foot (top of and soles) and very heavy, painful legs. I have been taking co-codamol (30/500) 2 every four to six hours as pain control following a spinal decompression of L4 and L5 discs and also a laminectomy. This operation was eight weeks ago and I was originally taking the co-codamol with Tramadol ( 2 every four hours) which I have now managed to wean myself off. Would you have any advice for me. I have no need to take pain control for my spine - just this painful leg and foot. Many thanks, Anna Griffiths
