Hello
As you mentioned that M R I shows ischemic changes in blood vessels supplying blood to legs .
In my opinion as treatment is not responding by a neurologist and physician .
In this type of condition I usually advise my patient to consult a VASCULAR SURGEON and get his opinion.
In my opinion , if medicinal treatment fail then surgeon may operate and will dislodge ( remove ischemic part or remove blood coagulation ).
Good luck.
