Suggest Treatment For This Result From Lumbar X-ray
I have had a pain in my left thigh for a few months now. I tend to associate it with lower back issues I ve had in the past. I recently had an X-ray of the hips/pelvis/lumbar. Nothing out of the ordinary for my age (55) was found. Some degenerative discs and a slight curvature (congenital) of the spine. There is more pain with use and I cannot lift my leg to cross over the other leg. I can move the leg in all other positions. What do you think?
Your X-ray findings suggests age related degenerative changes in lumbar spine. It is important to assess nerve compression etc. So,you may need MRI of L/S spine.It the investigation of choice for soft tissue imaging. You may need physiotherapy. You may also need routine hemogram,random blood sugar,serum calcium and vitamin D estimation,thyroid profile etc. Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon. Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
