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.
Age 62, Having Chills And Scatica In Both Legs. Undergone Partial Knee Replacement
Sometimes i get cold chills in both of my legs from the knees down. I am 62 and have had partial knees replacement in both knees and I also have sciatica at times.
It looks to me that you are having a spine problem. It causes nerve compression at back, and lead to shooting pain going from hip joint to leg.(sciatica) I would suggest you to go to a orthopaedic surgeon and get MRI scan of your spine. Treatment depends upon how much nerve compression is present. It can be either Pregabalin and Methylcobal and Physiotherapy.If nerve compression is significant surgery is also an option.
