What Causes Severe Pain In The Right Leg, Knee And Hips?

I had fusion 2 months ago and having terrible pain in right leg, knee hip groin. before surgery I had bad sciatica on left side but now left side is ok except for left foot numb tingling on top. Have not been able to find a theraputic dose of drugs to reduce pain to where it is tolerable, any suggestions?

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
- Your problem can be due to excessive post operative stress in opposite side .. muscular pain( right leg here)&can be relieved by reducing it by using stick,clruches,walker .. for weight bearing,along with pain medicine your surgeon suggests.
-Sometimes involvement of another adjescent vertebra or disc can result in such complaint... causing nerve pain &needs separate treatment.
Consult your treating orthopedic doctor for differentiation & management.
Thanks.
