Question: Severe leg and hip Pain after walking a short distance. The same walk I have made, many times over the years. Also arm pain doing common chores. I've worked hard all my life, now I have severe pain, doing simple things. I'm a 54 year old male.
Brief Answer:
Further examinations needed...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The leg and hip pain you experience after walking a short distance might be related to problems with:
- blood vessels (blood circulation)
- arthritis
- nerves
I suggest to do further examinations:
- Doppler of the blood vessels of the legs
- pelvis and hip X-ray
- EKG and cardiac echo to exclude heart problems
- ERS, CPR, rheumatoid factor for arthritis
Hope it helped!
Feel free to ask me other questions you might have!
