Have been diagonsed with Spinal Stenosis but also developed a slight limp which has now turned into a constant limp and the right hip also hurts and when standing my joints seem to creak and pop. What am I looking at and what type doctor do I need to see?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms. Spinal stenosis could lead to numbness and tingling of feet and legs, in addition to causing weakness. Symptoms may get worse on walking, a condition known as claudication. You should consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for detailed evaluation and planning of treatment. Initial treatment consists of medications and physiotherapy. Those who do not improve, may require epidural injections or surgery. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
