hi..my mom is 72 years of age, has been suffering from severe leg pain from thighs to toe, making her unable to walk for the past 8-10 years. she could only sleep at night taking syndopa given by a neruologist, she does not have parkinsons. 2 weeks back she underwent spine surgery, to relieve her pain as doctors said it is due to nerve compression. The doctor 2 weeks back stopped syndopa which she is taking for the past 8-10 years. After the surgery she is able to walk which she was not earlier, but at night she cries complaining of severe leg pain from thighs to toe, crying inconsolably. The Surgeon who oeperated her says it is not due to nerve compression as the surgery was a suceess. could this be withdrawal of syndopa.
