Have Low Back, Groin, Leg Pain, Stiffness In Body, Had Cortisone Shots, A Course Of Steroids. Reason?

For several weeks now, I have had low back, groin and leg pain. It hurts to lift my leg when it is in a bent position as in going upstairs, getting in the car (there is also a great feeling of stiffness in the back of my upper leg/under my under my buttocks area), to walk, etc. I have been under a doctor s care but I feel like I haven t gotten any real reason. I have had 2 previous spinal fusions in the S5-L1 region. I have had 2 cortisone shots, a course of steroids with only liimited relief. any ideas? A previous Mri did reveal areas of inflammation above my fusion site and once he mentioned some bone spurs but he seems to still be looking for the reason
