See a good neurologist. Don't just "live with it"
You need to get a diagnosis and treatment.

I guess I should have explained more: I am 87yo , in 2018 while on vacation in Canada, I tripped and broke my right hip. The Canadian Dr. said my socket wasn't arthritic so she didn't replace it??Since then I've had back problems?? due to hip?? anyway have had a back operation to remove bone fragments?? Have gone to many Drs. including Dr, An, neurologist and had all the tests. Bottom line??? PAD and Neuropathy. If anyone at this point has a solution, please let me know. Thank you

I should have explained more: I broke my hip on vacation in Canada in 2018. I am 87 yo. I had a partial hip replacement at that time. The Dr replaced the hip/ball, but not the socket, as she said there wasn't any arthritis in the socket. Started w/feet feeling like stepped in glue/dried on feet. Drs, including neurologists now say bad back? Ok so, back operation, cleaned up the bone around L3/L4. According to my GP and other Drs. it's PAD and neuropathy.

I wish that were true for me. I've been to four in LA. All the "remedies" have been palliative. And these were the top-ranked hospitals in the US. Feeling like I am completely f*cked now.
