All:
Thank you so much for all of the motivating comments, It provides me some hope. I wanted to provide the board with a little more background with the pain I'm having.
First, let me start with telling you my back pain isn't that bad and mechanically speaking, my back is doing well, considering I have had 3 surgery's.
My leg pain: From day one post-Op, I have been dealing with a heavy dull pain (opposite of sciatic pain). I can not stand for more than a few minutes and sitting for extended periods can also be hard. It feels like I'm wearing heavy ankle weights (like 20 LB's). My pain is a pulling heavy ache, as opposed to the electrical shock feeling. My legs and feet also get cold with pins and needle feel. I have never had issues with cold feet Pre-Op.
