Spinal Cord Compression & Related Problems - Doctors pls help & advise!?

I was completely normal person until I had an accidental fall 3 yrs ago, suffered slipped disc injury to 3 discs L3, L4 & L5 and as a result I suffered compression of spinal cord as well as compression of S1 nerve and various nerve roots and had to be operated upon in mid-2003 to trim these 3 discs and compression was removed.I have recovered now but have some weakness of muscles.I have some constant tingling sensation on the soles of my feet which is very disturbing, which causes me some difficulty in walking and standing barefoot.Now on my sexual organs,the sensory nerves of my sexual organ have been disturbed and nerve conductivity in this region is less and as a result of which I have weak erections and have had no ejaculation since this accidient took place.The skin on my penis and scrotum has less sensitivity also the skin on right side of my glans penis has very little or no sensation but left side has full sensation.Used allopathic medicines for 1 yr but switched to homoepathy.

Answers:
a lot of problems like this seem to come from inflamation. Next time you see your doc, ask about cox 1 and cox 2 inhibitors. You want to have some inflamation for protection, but when it doesn't go away it causes problems. Inflamations blocks nerve pathways (see tingling), blood flow (see erection) and so on.
Ummm, I doubt you will get any good quality medical advice on Y!Answers. Especially not from a Doc. Go see one in person.
sole of foot is S1 region. your buttock on where you sit is S2 region.

in my view, you still got some problem in S1-S2 level
