Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Your may be having lumbar spondylosis with radiating pain to left leg as it is common in her age. It can be confirmed by x ray of lumbar spine. Its primary treatment is rest in lateral position with both hips and knees flexed. Analgesic such as ibuprofen are given for pain relief. Mecobalamine is helpful.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
