Had Cervical Spinal Fusions. Constant Pain In Left Leg And Vision Is Blurry. Difficult To Keep Balance. What Do You Suggest?

I have had 2 cervical spinal fusions in the last year, recently my left arm and left hand are falling asleep. Also my left leg has constant pain, my hamstring, my thigh, the top and bottom of my left foot. It almost feels like I stepped on something in my foot that infected or buried in the foot. Now in the last couple of days my vision is blurry and hasn't gone away. Also its difficult to keep my balance.

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

Based on your symptoms, you have problems in lumbar spine region (lower back) and eyes, in addition to the cervical spine.

You would require further evaluation, including an examination by a neurologist and MRI of the cervical and lumbar spine.

An eye examination would also be helpful.I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
