Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i only have to walk up the stairs or short distances and my left leg feels like it has run a marathon aching and throbbing where i have to stop and catch my breath and rest my leg, and just recently my left hand feels weak and is cramping slightly whilst doing normal everyday tasks.... i am 37 and male.
I have studied your case. First possibility could be lumbar canal stenosis leading to burning sensation and pain in your leg. Due to compression of this nerve root there can be leg pain associated with it.
I will advise you to do MRI spine For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level. Vascular claudication can also lead to leg pain which is common in smokers.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
