How Can Pain In The Legs And Feet Be Treated?

Hello, I m 65 years old and have progressive scoliosis. Pain in my back isn t a major problem. Instead, I have experienced increasing pain in my legs and feet especially when I climb and descent stairs. Several years ago, a neurologist did a nerve conduction study and diagnosed lumbar stenosis. I went to another doctor recently for a 2nd opinion. He said the results don t indicate stenosis. What should I do now? Would my GP be able to compare both results or do I need to get another opinion from a 3rd neurologist? I also had blood chemistry done and the ANA results were high. I have an appointment with a rheumetologist in May to see if the pain could be attributed to arthritis.

You should do angiography to rule out some stenosis or thrombosis so that it can be treated properly.
