I have cervical/lumbar spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease. I had pain in my hips/buttocks that went down into my legs/feet at times. I had a MRI of my pelvis/hips and it showed I had bilateral gluteal tendinopathy and bilateral partial hamstring tears! I have no idea how and when this happened! I had lumbar spine surgery on 8/2 (decompression/fusion L3-L5) which was very painful but my hope is it will relieve some of the neurogenic claudication symptoms in my hips/buttocks/legs/feet. I wonder if my pain/weakness/numbness in that area caused me to tear tendons/muscles.
