@elsa You could also have your pelvis out of alignment which also can cause leg pain symptoms. That has happened to me and physical therapy gets it realigned. Those same symptoms also overlap with spine issues where lumbar meets the sacrum. Dr. Fogelson is a spinal deformity expert and I found a Mayo Clinic minute video of him talking about scoliosis that you can search for. I wanted to pass along some more information because Dr. Fogelson had me see a neurologist first that he chose who is Dr. Bartleson. Here is a video I found of him taking about cervical stenosis which is what I had. I think they work together a lot. Dr. Bartleson ordered nerve tests and blood work that I had done prior to meeting Dr. Fogelson and an MRI. You should send those photos in with your request for an appointment along with any recent imaging. There can also be issues with the SI joints, and Mayo has an SI joint clinic. I don't have any experience with that, but I've had mine shift and physical therapy helped them. Thank you, I am doing great, and my spine surgery fixed all the pain I had from the stenosis. I am still working on rebuilding muscle that I lost and had a physical therapy workout today and I'm achy from that. I also have to stretch and strengthen in therapy for my thoracic outlet syndrome, and building core strength is recommended to keep the spine supported.
