 Hello,
Has there been an MRI which showed a pinched nerve in the lumbar spine?
Many conditions can cause leg pain, so it will be important to confirm a pinched nerve.
Other causes of leg pain include:
arthritis
poor circulation
infection
sprains and strains
If a pinched nerve is confirmed then a neurosurgeon will help discuss the risks and benefits of non surgical and surgical management.
Take care.
