I recently went through 2 major back
surgery's for lumbar fusion of l4-l5.
Since having the surgery the back pain has
continued although not as bad, but the big
problem now is leg jerks/spasms when I lay
down or sit. I did not have the leg
jerks prior to the surgery. Has anyone
had this problem? I am seeing a pain
management doctor and I am scheduled for a
epidural injection to try to help with the
pain and he started me on neurontin for
the leg spasms, but that is not helping.
I have gotten no explanation as to why I
am having the leg spasms, or if the back
surgery had anything to do with it, and
exactly what is causing it. Is it a
nerve problem, muscle problem,
neurological problem. Help! I would
love to here from anyone that has had this
problem. :?
