Suggest Remedy For Radiating Pain From Lower Back To Legs Upon Walking

I m having fairly severe low back pain on both sides, going down my legs,making exercise, and just moving around my home, and steps, difficult. i m not pain free unless i m sitting, so i m getting rather sedentary. i thought i was having sciatica, but dr did x-ray. i m taking heavy dose of Tylenol Arthritis (cannot take ibuprofen), and taking turmeric every day. looking for other home treatments. i WANT to get back to walking and exercising at the Y . any other suggestions?Thank you!valerie

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

It is uncommon to get this pain on both sides and when it happens a neurologist should be seen.
If you have already seen a neurologist and he has already ruled out important conditions as the cause of your symptoms then you might benefit from seeing a physiotherapist which can give you exercises to relax the muscles and help improve your pain and movements.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
