Thigh And leg pain
Hello sir/mam..my mother is having severe leg pain in one of the legs. The pain starts from the middle of the thigh and radiates to leg. The pain is not muscle pain and it can't be clearly described by her but it is excruciating in nature. The pain is felt only while lying for rest at afternoon or sleeping at night not any other time. She is not able to sleep bcoz of it. She is suffering from diabetes and hypertension and taking medication for the same. Plz suggest what to do. Had taken vitamin D3, neurobion, painkillers and calcium but no relief..plz suggest what to do. Will be highly obliged for an early response.

It would be advisable to get MRI LS spine done as she is already taking medication to find out the exact cause of her problem. This will help in further treatment.
Next Steps
Book for online consultation once the MRI is done
