Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.
I have read your query.
The solution for your issues is linked with treatment of the underlying cause.
In your case, conditions such as lumbar spinal cord stenosis, peripheral neuropathy, etc. should be considered and evaluated further.
Imaging tests of your spine (dynamic x-rays, MRI) and nerve conduction test of your legs are necessary for a correct diagnosis.
Antiinflammatory drugs, vitamins B complex, supplements of vitamin D, may be necessary to improve.
In case of significant compression on nerves or the spinal cord, surgery may be indicated as well.
Discuss with your Neurologist for these issues.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
