Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you may be having problem in your lumbar spine. There seems to be compression of nerve roots. You need to do MRI of spine to see the compression. A nother possibility is vascular claudication, for which angiography of both lower limb arteries need to be done . You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. 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.
