What could cause pain in the hip area plus tingling and some numbness in the legs. MRI and CAT scans show slight spinal stenosis but spine surgeon says he doesn t think it is narrowed enough to cause the pain. Hip surgeon says hip looks fine. Could it is MS or something else. Patient is healthy 77 year old.
