What Causes Hip Pain Radiating To The Ankle?
I have leg pain that starts at the hip and goes down to the ankle. Two months ago I had an ablation done and my dr wants me to have an ultrasound, and ct done. The pain usually comes on after I do alot walking or physical activity. I don t want to have these test done if it has nothing to do with my heart because I having a hard time with the insurance paying but I s not sleeping well at night. Should I have the test done or see another dr maybe for my hip

Hello,
As per your history, it may be due nerve compression.
to confirm diagnosis kindly do MRI lumbar, nerve conduction study an dvit B12 level after consultation.
for that take tab, tylenol. you may require tab. pregabalin after consultation.
Avoid forward bending and squatting position. Do regular physical therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
