What Causes Pain And Swelling In Leg And Back Pain With Frequent Urination?
I have leg pain , legs swell, foot pain , lower back pain, sometimes get a sharp pain through my back, I am having difficulty walking and have fallen a few times. I feel pain through out my body and only feel relief when in bed yet at times I have trouble sleeping because of pain. When I am resting or sitting I feel the need to move my legs. I do need to urinate frequently usually about once an hour so can not sleep through the night. I have been gaining weight because I am not moving as much due to the pain.

hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.
As you mentioned your symptoms you need to undergo a thorough neuromuscular assessment and some special clinical test will be performed to figure out the possible causes of the pain. Post which an MRI of the lumbar spine and diagnostic ultrasonography will be advised to come closer to the diagnosis.
As for the lumbar spine MRI, the reports will provide in detail the soft tissue status in the spine and will help us correlate with the clincal symptoms. post which with medication and physical therapy the further plan of treatment will be programmed.
An diagnostic ultrasonography of the abdomen will help.us reveal any kidney issues to rule as as you have a complain of frequent urination.
As you mentioned about frequent urination, you haven't mentioned your age and cardiac profile. If you are under any cardiac treatment then the frequent urination can be because of it.
As for the pain radiating from the lower back to the legs, physical therapy will help you by - Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy. Post which and exercise plan will be programmed to ensure the strength in the muscles to get optimum results.
In my clinical practice, a detailed assessment is performed post which the treatment is guided. We are able to manage 99% success in our patients symptoms and full recovery in ADL.
