You may try wearing a magnetic bracelet. It worked for my dad's pain due to arthritis.

Not sure what operation you're referring to. L5 is a bit higher than your tailbone, but nerves that exit at this level to innervate the legs, back, and buttocks.

Leg pain can result from circulatory problems, kidney disease, and a variety of other conditions, including under use. What is the reason for your leg pain?

Are we talking about a radiculopathy?
