Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
First possibility could be lumbar canal stenosis leading to spasm down leg
Another possibility of lumbar disc compressing nerve root.
Due to compression of this nerve root there can be pins and needle sensation in leg and waist.
I will advise you to do MRI spine

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.


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
