This occurs mainly in my hips after walking only a short distance. Mad it gets bad enough to stop me dead in my tracks and I have to sit down to obtain relief. I have been the neurological route finding out that I have mild stenosis in the lumbar spine coupled with a couple of slightly bulging discs (doc said this would not couse the amount of pain i'm having). I also have pvd and am on ace for high blood pressure. Am wondering if this could possibly be caused by low potassium as I certainly don't eat "healthy". I'm at a loss as to what to check now and my docs don't seem to have a clue .......... But, the pain on walking really limits me.

Thanks for any and all responses.
