What Causes Pain And Numbness In The Legs?
i have multiple fractures in spine and have had a type of cement injected to those fractures. I have lots of pain in one leg and numbness. But now my legs are becoming very weak and can hardly get up from off the floor. The weakness is what keeps me from working like I need to. What can be done for the weakness
