Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case,

Due to compression of nerve root there can be stabbing sensation in leg and butt pain
I will advise you to do MRI spine

Another possibility of can be peripheral neuropathy due to pre diabetes.
Blood work up and EMG-NCV [nerve conduction] study will help.

For these symptoms methylcobalamine and neurotropic medication can be started consulting your doctor.

Epidural steroid shot can help if no relief with medication.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
