Hi
I am Dr Gopal Goel ,Orthopedic Surgeon.
You have pain in Left leg on lying down, for 2 yrs. No other details are available
Possibilities:
1. Pain originating from spinal cord- there are certain conditions like spinal canal stenosis, Sacroilitis, Spondylolisthesis where pain can be maximum at night, sometimes on lying supine .
2. Hip pathology- In this condition pain is generally more on walking.
I suggest you go for the X ray Hip and MRI Lumbosacral Spine to assess the condition.
I hope i have answered your question. Please feel free to ask any further question.
