I am a 55 year old female with cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease and neurogenic claudication. I also have small fiber neuropathy. I have pain, numbness and weakness in my lower back, hips, buttocks, legs and feet. I went to a hip specialist to see if my hips were the source of some of my pain and they did X-ray and MRI and told me my hip joints looked okay but my MRI showed bilateral gluteal tendiapathy and partial hamstring tears. This indicated that most of my symptoms were from my lumbar spine and neurogenic claudication. I actually and going for lumbar surgery this Friday (8/2/2024) to decompress/fuse my L3-L5 levels. The spinal injections are no longer really helping my severe stenosis/claudication. I was told my hip issues would heal on their own but physical therapy could help expedite recovery. I will consider PT after my surgery because I have lost so much muscle strength due to prolonged chronic pain, numbness and weakness from crushed spinal nerves.

Did you have exist and MRI of your hips to see if there is anything beyond the hip joint causing your pain?
