Cramps are constant in the lombar region, hip, thigh and leg n foot. Since the level of surgery is numerous, i am told it will be months before surgery. I am in bed rest, i cant stand up anymore, and cant stand straight. Oedem is constant. Unfortunately, specific question like this is beyond the scope of this forum.
Treatment is individualized and requires thorough review of the case including all work up to date.
