Had A Spinal Lumbar Fusion. Foot To Knee Is Numb. Have A Shooting Pain, Burning, Spasms. Problem?

I had a spinal lumbar fusion of L4&L5 and break inS2 that was 5 years ago my left leg from foot to knee is totally numb and have to drag as the ankle bone almost touches the ground although numb on outside I have shooting pain also burning and sever spasms in the inside and they have given me Lyrica and Vicodin to no relief
Is there hope my leg will ever be normal and even my back pain will leave.

Hi, the treatment failure by the patient usually leads to such symptoms. Neglecting the rest during the period of treatment time, weight bearing in convalacence, etc.
Any how you can try to recover from the pain, i to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and one injection every week, and pain killers when ever necessory.
Avoid taking more of potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods. Thank you.
