In 2014 I Had A Fusion At L5/S1. That Doc

In 2014 I had a fusion at L5/S1. That doc caught my sciatic nerve in the fusion equipment. There was a Myleogram done in Jun/16. Showed fluid and the nerve. Decompression surgery was done Aug/16. Was successful I'm told but will take much to heal as well as the fluid proved to be infection from 2014. Therefore, and IV of antibiotics 24/7 for 6 weeks and some more issues with that. Took out my immune system, had to do some change up but now I am IV free. I'm doing PT, walking, mild pool usage. As well as Celebrex and Norco. That's helping...have the meds cut way down from what I came home from the hospital with. I have these times and they are always at night where I leg doesn't want to stay still and it's agiated and keeps me awake. I've been using baclofen and it has been working until tonight. Any suggestions? Making me crazy!
