Hello,

Severe leg pain is commonly not due to Paracetamol or Sinemet, though Sinemet may cause muscle stiffness. Leg pain is a symptom of Parkinsons & you already have a history of it.

After spinal surgery, some patients experience leg pain as the nerve roots may take time to heal.

It may take 2-3 months time to heal but if you continue to have pain you should get routine & follow up clinical examinations done to rule out any developing complications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
