Will lumbar spinal fusion solve my leg pain or just add new pain?

The leg pain is the WORST! Mine is in constant cramping mode from top of left buttock down to my toes. No meds touch it.
I’m scheduled for a L5S1 fusion in 4 days and praying it provides relief. I am currently debilitated and ready to get back to living.
Any advice on what to take for the hospital stay would be greatly appreciated. Praying you heal quickly and the pain subsides!

I had a lumbar laminectomy on July 12th and now I have no feeling in my right leg all the way down to my toes. I had so many MRI'S XRAYS CT SCANS that I can't even count them. The doctors do not know what to do to help me. I am at my wits end.

I had a 2013 fusion of L-3,4,5 and the issues I was experiencing went away. Of course having an arthritic back I have different problems doubt there’s but nothing is as bad as my feet going dead after standing or walking for a few minutes. The fusion was the best thing I could’ve done.
