What Causes Muscle Pain And Weakness In The Legs, Hips And Back?
I have been a patient at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN. I am frustrated with time they have taken on diagnosing me. They think that I may have Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia. Which also runs in my family. I have been on Baclofen for about a year now, 30 mlgs.a day, and my symptoms are getting worse. I m waiting to see my Nurologist. Have been for over six months now. I feel like a number and that they just don t care. In lots of muscle pain and weakness in my legs, hips and back.

Hello,
It is neurological disorders, which cause progressive weakness and spasticity in the lower extremities.
Usually, this medical condition is treated with Baclofen which is a muscle relaxant.
In case you continue to have symptoms, I suggest to use Diazepam.
I suggest regular exercise and a healthy diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
