My left leg from the back hip to around front to the knee hurts when I walk . Setting is not to bad. If I bend or twist walking it hurts real bad ,till I stand back straight. This is the third month and meds from my doctor and thearipy are not much help. I use heat pad some it help for a while . For some reason my doctor don t think I need a MRI Why? Thanks Ron
Dear patient you may be having radicular pain due to nerve compression at lumbar spine with radicular pain in lower limb. Mri is needed to confirm diagnosis. Mri of the lumbo sacral spine should be done from radiology centre nearby you. Meanwhile start tab pregalin x 75 mg and tab  ultracet once at night for 10 days. please consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area with report.
