What Causes Difficulty In Walking?
2 causes. Needs 3 tests
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
From the query, I have surmised the follows'
1. the pain is in full leg.
2. it increases on walking.
3. there is a radiculopathy pain.
I will start by saying that I don't believe that the symptoms of the query are due to orthopaedic cause.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of 2 possible causes.
1. Nerve issue due to compression at the spine. You will need to test with a MRI LS spine and nerve conduction study.
2. a vascular pathology. I would suggest a Doppler study of the lower limbs for this.
The treatment of the 2 conditions is very similar. I think I would therefore like to see the reports before suggesting medicines.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal
