I have this. What does your lumbar MRI show? Did you also have a cervical spine MRI done? Cervical spine issues can affects legs, too. Did you have a MRI of your hips/pelvis and legs to check for soft tissue injuries/damage? Have you had an EMG/nerve conduction study of lower limbs to see if there is radicilopathy/nerve compression?
I was told my leg pain was due to spinal stenosis/neurogenic claudication from my compressed L4-L5 especially so I had surgery to decompress and fuse L3-L5. It helped relieve a lot of the pain. My hip/pelvis MRI showed that I have bilateral gluteal tendinopathy and bilateral partial hamstring tears which added to the pain/weakness. PT is supposed to help but I still have some symptoms. I may need surgery to repair the tendons at some point in the future.

Wow, I didn’t know about those other tests. I had MRI’s in my neck and spine in 2018 and going to have another one soon for my lower back.
I had a 2 level cage in my cervical spine, and a three level in my lumbar spine lower back and now I have in my lower spine at L2 & L3. so I guess I’ll see what’s going on after my MRI on my lower.
