Stiffness and pain in the lower back pain that runs into the pelvis area and buttocks, muscle weakness and pain in legs, tingling sensations down the leg are all symptoms of lumbar spondylosis or lumbar osteoarthritis.
When the pain is getting worse and unresponsive to drug treatment, and defecation and urinary difficulties may have developed, a surgery is suggested as a treatment option.
