What Causes Back/leg Pain While Diagnosed With Disc Prolapse?
I am writing to you for my wife who is suffering from back and leg pain. She was diagnosed with disc prolapse and we got medical advise that the pain could be due to sciatica. The prescription was to go for cortizone injections and pain killers for temporary relief and to do exercises for long term relief. We did not like using cortizone and pain killers and tried ayurvedic therapy but even after a month long treatment, she is not recovering. But the pain is not a radiating one rather it is like numbness in both of her feet. She is identified of having high liver enzymes level (3 times normal) and diagnosed of having a fatty liver. Her haemoglobin levels are lower and are around 10-11. She also got retroverted uterus, PCOS and heavy menstruation. The leg pain gets worsened during the days of menstruation. We are not sure which specialist go for her leg pain as we are not sure what condition is causing them. Can you give some opinion whether any irregularities in blood clotting factors or liver problems or retroverted uterus cause such conditions?

What Causes Back/leg Pain While Diagnosed With Disc Prolapse?
Hello, It is necessary performing nerve conduction studies in order to investigate possible peripheral neuropathy. I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical exam. It is also necessary for taking iron supplements because anemia can lead to restless leg syndrome, which can mimic this clinical situation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
