P.S. You may be able to get an ultrasound of your hamstrings and buttocks to see if there are any tears.

Your symptoms do sound like sciatica linked to your spinal stenosis. If PT hasn’t helped and pain medication is limited, you may need spine surgery to decompress your spinal cord/nerve roots/nerves sending pain signals. Did you have a fall that contributed to your pain?

P.S. You asked re: possible falls contributing to my problem. I had several off my horse when I was in my 40s and 50s, but none of major consequence. At least none seemed consequential when they happened! I am 72 now and the pain just started a couple of years ago, so I think the main trouble must be age-related.
