Hi, I have had spine fusion surgery and I was proposed to stay in the hospital. Should I stay there or can I go home for recovery?

Hi, I am a 55 year old male who had bone fusion to levels L4-5 andL5-S1. I have been recovering in the hospital, and when I was much better I was allowed to go home. After fusion I began experiencing intermittent burning in the toes of my feet. The low back pain occurred the next winter, and I was advised to start chiropractic. This has helped me a lot, but severe pain in left foot and leg was coming back from time to time. After this, I even came to the point that I couldn’t walk properly. Then I was given Epidural Steroid injections to be free of pain. I haven;t found any long lasting solution for my problem.
