Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Severe Pain In The Legs And Hips While Walking?
Suffering acute pain and difficulties standing + walking after a sideways bend. Does Parkinson Disease cause muscles to tighten as I feel the hip,pelvis, legs and spine tighter since diagnosis. Should I start working under supervision with Exercise Physiologist to reduce episodes of these current injuries as hydrotherapy x3 is not helping and can no longer do yoga poses. I m 61, female and in last year of diagnosis no longer able to do intense 1 hour of gym aerobics weights every morning before teaching work ? Now tired, poor muscle tone ...in one year ...got to reverse or limit to feel fitter. Prior to PD diagnosis had a severe fall at work with shoulder and ankle injuries...now PTTD with ruptured tendon Ortho Surgeon says not operable due to PD. Wear a rigid medical L foot leg brace every day ...suffer brakenkinesia? L side. Thanks Juli
The rigidity of Parkinson's disease may be experienced as stiffness associated with vague aching and discomfort of a limb suggesting musculo-skeletal syndromes. However, since you are having pain on standing, walking and side ways bending etc., lumbar canal stenosis needs to be ruled out.
MRI spine (lumbo-sacral region) will demonstrate narrowing of the lumbar canal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
