How Can Legs Pain Mimicking Claudication Be Treated?

I have pain in both legs from the knee down to my toes upon speed walking. I am not a runner. It has got to the point where it now hurts throughout the day when I m at work. It mimics intermittent leg claudication. My primary has ruled that out and is sending me to a neurologist. Any ideas on what this is?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response

Hello,

I have studied your case.
There is possibility of spinal canal stenosis or neurogenic claudication

I will advise you to do MRI spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
If required you may need color doppler leg to see for vascular occlusion.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
