Suggest Treatment For Injured Lower Back,and Left Leg
Hi, I sustained an injury to my lower back, left leg at work a year ago, other than 12 approved visits to physical therapy no other treatment has been done. They send me to different state doctors, which usually perform the same tests or questions, however this doctor measured the circumference in three locations on both arms and legs, without checking my back or leg at all I don't understand? But the measurements on the right arm and leg are larger on both the right leg and arm, I use a cane on the right as well. Thank you for your time

It is normal to have right side larger
(no idea why they did this measurment)
any way your physical therapy program should include streching of your lower back and strengthing of the abdominal muscles
also streching of your iliopsoas muscle is recommended
Good Luck
