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.
Hi,
I am an older woman from I am told I have a back problem which is affecting my legs big time. I feel it could be my hip even though I have back problems. It is mostly on my left side. I have had an MRI of my back so far need to get another opinion.
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
Your symptoms are caused by hip and lumbar arthritis. Another probability is that you suffer from sciatic neuritis, that is caused by a herniated disc.
To determine the diagnosis you need: 1. Lumbar Ct-scan. 2. Complete blood count. 3. Fibrinogen test. 4. Urine test.
