Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Severe Back Pain Radiating To The Feet. Not Able To Stand. Treatment?
I am having severe back pain . It has been progressively worse over the last year and now I cannot stand up for longer than 30 seconds before the pain begins. Within 1 minute the pain has extended from my lower back all the way down both legs to my feet . I can not stand up longer than one minute. What could be the problem? and what should I do?
Welcome to HCM.
It seems you are quite disabled due to pain. Low back pain radiating to legs may be due to lumbar spinedisc prolapse or spinal stenosis. I would suggest to consult a spine specialist and you may need to get Xrays and MRI of the spine. Thanks.
