Hi,

As this indicates me the weakness of the spinal muscles which has lead to pain. Also due to pain in legs the mobility might have got compromised and led to symptoms of indigestion leading to abdominal pain as well.

Breathing might also get affected as the strength in the muscles of the lower limb is reduced leading to abnormal vascular physiology. I will advice to simple low intensity exercises which will help you come out of the symptoms.

Exercises like - deep breathing exercises, huffing, coughing exercises, core stability exercise, spinal muscle strengthening exercises, hip muscle strengthening exercises, static Quadriceps, static hamstring, straight leg raise and ankle toe movements.

This will help improve the muscle physiology and strength in the muscles leading to improved breathing and reduced pain and aches.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
