Suggest Treatment For Onset Of Pain In Left Leg And Thigh

I am a 56 year old female. 5 4 and 118 lbs. I have quick onset of pain in left leg from mid-thigh to mid-calf. Seems to hurt more often when lying down than when walking. Only other symptom is a place on my right side near my left should (about the size of my hand) that really hurts sometimes but not continually. Seems to be worse when I sit a computer for a long while or when I stand or sit in one position too long. Any advice? Thank you so much. Jen

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

As per your symptoms it looks more of a disc degenerative disease in the spine - cervical and lumbar. By which the symptoms are arising.

Getting a thorough clinical examination and MRI of cervical and lumbar spine will help understand the extent of nerve root compression.

Treatment
Physical therapy like Therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy and exercises has provided 99% success rate in the health recovery path of patients with Degenerative Disease of disc in my clinical practice.
