Question : Have stent in each upper leg, groin area, have 50% blockage in one stent, determined 4 days ago. Have back pain at top of pelvic bones in back, and radiates around to the front. When I eat, pain worsens, when I sit pain is worse. Is this caused by stent blockage or is this another problem?

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have read your query.
stent blockage will not give history of such kind of pain.
as per your symptoms there can be possibility of disc bulge leading to limb pain.
Another possibility of lumbar canal stenosis leading to pain.
MRI spine will help in diagnosis. along with that CT angiography will help you.
Medication like methylcobalamine and neurotropic medication like pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.
