Leg Weakness and Mobility Issues

I have been taking Reclas for 5 or more years and prior to that other medication to stave of the infusions for osteoporosis. It has slowed the progression down. I have degenerative disc disease with arthritis in my spine. I've had a couple of back surgeries with fusion of L4-L5. This left me with permanent L5 nerve damage to my left leg from my knee to my toes. I guess I am hoping the Gabapentin will help with pain. I messed up my kidneys in the 80's trying to stay away from pain killers for herniated disc's and was given 1200mg of ibuprofen for many years. I have been a solid 3 on the kidney scale according to my blood work for years. My pharmacist is more aware then my doctors of meds that might do more damage. He has red flagged for me in the past. As always thanks for lending an ear and more.

The Fusion of L4-L5 is this with metal in your back? That is a very difficult process to heal.
I had non invasive L4-L5, L5-S1 and piriformis release. I had nerve damage that left me legs useless and very painful even when laying down. After surgery the painful current movement in my toes went away but the nerve damage has been a real slow progress to get some kind of QOL back. There are yoga stretches on youtube that make a significant difference each day you do them for hip and legs. It helps the whole body. Hydration with minerals every morning. So many natural things I am discovering make a little difference each day. I am really imbalanced and that starts in the brain. There is a heaviness on the left side of the brain. I must use a cane so I don't fall. I am trying to concur that with the yoga exercises. Have a good day. Don't give up.
