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.
My leg has progressively become worse. I can t lift my right leg without using my hand to lift it. I have to turn backwards and lift it backwards to get into my car. I have been going to physical therapy to stretch . I don t understand why this happened. Nobody can seem to tell me. The pain is almost unbearable.
Since you are describing symptom like this, I feel you might be having lurching gait. We need to check your gait once and examine the bones and nerves to see what's wrong. I strongly feel there may be some muscle weakness which is causing you such symptoms. Kindly visit an orthopedic can ask him to examine you thoroughly for the above mentioned.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Archana
