HI. THE CAUSES OF YOUR PAIN CAN BE MULTIPLE AND THEY CAN BE ASCETAINED ONLY ON DETAILED CLINICAQL HISTORY AND EXAMINATION. MOST COMMONLY IT CAN BE DUE TO SPONDYLOSIS OTHERWISE KNOWN AS PROLAPSED/SLIPPED DISC. IT CAN ALSO BE DUE TO DIABETIC NEUROPATHY. FOR THE EVALUATION OF SPONDYLOSIS, AN MR SCAN OF THE SPINE WILL BE REQUIRED. FOR THE EVALUATION OF THE NEUROPATHY, NERVE STUDIES WILL BE REQUIRED.
