Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX XXXX,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and it is unfortunate that the root cause of your problem has not been identified.
You require detailed evaluation to determine the cause. This would include doing MRI of lumbo-sacral spine (to detect pinched nerve in lower back), nerve conduction studies (to look for nerve damage in legs), blood tests for vitamin D and bone densitometry (DEXA scan to look for osteoporosis).
I am sure with the root cause identified, you can be properly treated.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
