Nothing can be done?: You have an answer. To get a different answer will require asking somebody else. Having had prior spinal fusion may be a significant consideration in your case. More information is needed. Lumbar spine x-rays with flexion / extension views might reveal excessive motion above or below the level of fusion contributing to the neurologic problem.
