Fracture l4 l5 sometimes it is difficult for me to walk especially left leg?

Check for weakness: After a spine fracture the nerves can be pressed or squeezed. Injections can often help, but sometimes you will need the nerve freed of compression surgically. Time to be checked by a spine specialist.
