Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

There can be degenerative wear of bones, muscles, ligament and facet joint arthritis, due to deficiency of calcium, vitamin D, VIT B12.so supplements of these nutrients can relieve back pain and leg pain.

Check your bone strength with DEXA SCAN and you can start medication according to level of osteoporosis.
MRI spine will help to see for any nerve compression.
And also check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

I will advise you to do regular physiotherapy and exercises as my patients find much relief by these therapies.And weight reduction will help you.
You may consult physiotherapist for guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case you need to take diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.
