Hello. I had a rediculopathy in my right leg for 7yrs. Burning in the right quad, pins/needles down to my toes. Muscle tightness starting from low back into hip down front of leg into foot. I am very limited how far I can walk. At rest it is not bad but when I move it lights up. I have a L4/S1 fusion in Dec 2024. Dr said nerves were compressed. The nerves looked good and surgery was successful on his end. However I am still struggling. Pain was unbelievable after surgery. I have improved but I am not much better than before surgery. Some parts seem better and some seem worse. My biggest issue is bottom of foot and arch pain. Foot feels pins/needles and a swollen like sensation. Very tight muscles in butt, hip and leg. I have been told it is over a year recovery but at 3 mnts I feel like this is as good as it gets. Does anyone else have this muscle tightness?
