I ve been to several doctors and had x-rays trying to find the answer to severe pain in the upper thighs to both legs. I ve been on several pain medications and nothing works. The time on my feet is very limited. I m 69 years old. What type of doctor should I look for? I m becoming very depressed over my situation. My next appointment is for an EMG??? Please advise
Hi Hope this message finds you in good health. I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern. U seem to have compressed a nerve in the back somewhere that might be causing radiating pain in those regions. Possibility of a lumbar disc prolapse should be kept in mind. I suggest you get a X-ray as well as an MRI to find out the exact cause. Physiotherapy, analgesics,anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Nothing to worry about. I hope your question has been answered. If you have any follow-up queries, feel free to consult me anytime. Thanks, Take care, God bless.
