What Causes Sciatic Pain In Hips And Legs?
I have sciatic pain in my hips and down my legs can that also make your legs hurt when you walk. I am concerned I may have P.A.D. as well. However, my legs do not stop hurting if I rest. I fell down the stairs about 7 yrs ago and that is when it started. I am 60yrs old. Should I get xray?

Hello,
It may be due to sciatica.
For further assessment you may require MRI back, nerve conduction studies after spine surgeon consultation.
You may require tablet Pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation.
You may require surgical intervention after consultation.
Do regular physical therapy
