weakness in legs Posted: 03-04-08 14:24pm


Hi, I have done X ray and looks like my L5-S1 part has some sclerosis and narrowness. Since 2 month I have strange feeling in my legs coming from my lower back till calf and foot. Most annoying is the weakness I feel. I have better days but in general don't feel well. Pain in lower back and pelvic area is very mild, come and go. Is it wise to go for PT already or some stretching are enough on my own? Also how such PT looks like? thanks

Hello Motif, Welcome to this forum and to the great people who post and try to help others here. PLEASE see the very best neurologist/spinal surgeon that you can find in your area. Make an appointment and twist their arm to get in as early as possible. Motif, I am not a doctor, but from your description you need medical attention ASAP. AND by medical I mean a spinal doctor with "MD" after his/her name. RichT
