A member asked:
I have a very bad lower back which will require surgery....a fusion for discs3,4and 5.could the swelling in my right leg below the knee be related to my back issue.i also have neuropathy in both feet and am not diabetic?

Bad back: Unilateral leg swelling is not usually related to the back. If you have neuropathy it is not likely that the surgery will reverse this. If all you have is bad discs without stenosis then you may want to consider a spinal stimulator.
