Severe nerve pulling, waddling gait, and
Hello Doctor,
My mother (Age 47, Weight 70 kg) has been suffering from severe knee and leg pain for 8 months. Recently, her condition has worsened. She has to stand for long hours at our shop, and at night, she experiences severe nerve pulling/spasms in her legs. Her walking balance has completely changed (she walks with a waddling, penguin-like gait).
Her recent blood reports show:
Vitamin B12: 221 pg/ml (Low)
Homocysteine: 22.30 µmol/L (High)
TSH: 7.89 µIU/mL (High)
Past Treatment:
An Ortho diagnosed mild Knee OA andsaying for opration. A Pain specialist prescribed Pregabid CR 75 and Etoshine MR, but no relief. Currently, an MD Physician started her on Tab Thyrox 50 mcg and Tab Becosules Z.
My questions:
Is her abnormal waddling gait and night-time nerve pulling due to Lumbar Spine nerve compression + B12 Neuropathy, rather than just Knee OA?
Should we get an MRI of the LS Spine and Knee joint?
Which specialist should we primarily consult now for a non-surgical approach?
