Dear patient First I would like to know which vertebral level was fractured and what surgery was done? Is back pain started recently, or it was there right after surgery?  If you are getting pain for last two years why you waited for so long ? You need to be investigated to find the cause for 1. Left hip pain 2. Right foot Chat Doctor.  I would like to advise 1. Radiograph of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to look for status of vertebra and implants 2.  EMG NCV of right lower limb to look for reason of foot
