A member asked:
Had lumbar fusion on 9/2014. fell downstairs 2 days ago, now pain, legs weak, footdrop,etc. family says wait it out, but so much pain idk what to do?

See Neurologist.: Why did you need a Lumbar fusion in the first place? Di you have an accident that gave you a spinal injury. Since you fell, you might have injured your spine and now it appears that you have nerve compression from the injury. See a Neurologist or an Orthopedist.
