I have fused spine l5/s1 severe nerve impingement both sides of exiting l5 nerve root, but my question is when do doctors become concerned of low creatinine levels, i'm almost 38 1/13/20 level was 0.62 4/22/20 was 0.60 and 7/13/20 was 0.51 legs weak.

Muscle mass: Low creatinine per se is not an issue. It reflects decrease in muscle mass and activity. You need to consult your doctor and discuss the need for physical therapy to regain muscle mass and strength. Wish you good health!
