Hello,
It is necessary consulting again with your doctor for a physical exam.
This is really abnormal and I think that a lumbar X-ray study may be needed, in order to investigate for a possible bulging disc in the vertebral column, which is causing radicular nerve pain in both legs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
