Dear Sir, I am 57 years old, 78 Kgs, 171 cms. I had been going for long walks daily (more than 10 kms) for last about 20 years.

I am undergoing physiotherapy for 20 weeks (traction, IFT, TENS.ultra sound, IR heat and SWD) There is not much of relief . Kindly advise. Pramod Kumar

Hi,
Given to the history of leg pain with back it seems to be a sciatica. i will suggest you to do back strengthening, core strengthening exercises cat and camel exercises and use lumber corset while traveling it will prevent you from travel shocks, drink lot of fluids and have green vegs and have vit b12 supplements (as vit b 12 is considered as nerve tonic) ask your physiotherapist to put you on Mckenzie rehab exercises, maitland mobilizations.
Hope you will find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
