@giaodonnell Welcome to Connect. It doesn’t sound like your doctors have thought about any spine issues yet. I had those same symptoms that were for me generated by some disc problems in my spine, mostly it was cervical with slight spinal cord compression, but I also had a bulging lumbar disc. I did have a cervical fusion which resolved the issues. My first symptom of spinal cord stenosis was a pain in my ankle when I turned my head. That was caused by bone spurs moving across my spinal cord. A spinal cord compression issue in the neck can cause leg symptoms. There could also be arthritis where a nerve exists the spinal cord that could cause symptoms specific to that nerve. Spine issues do tend to get worse with aging. Hopefully your doctors will find an answer and solution for you.
