[|Human|] I have been having issues for over two years now with my feet , right groin area, and lower back. First my feet when walking feels like I m walking on needles of mush. Second my right groin area hurts and is tender to the touch and is swelled somewhat, this is worst when I need to have a bowel movement . Third my lower back hurts bad and makes it hard to get up after standing or walking for long periods of time. Right now I am on pain medication and my Doctor just keeps raising the dosage. I want to try to figure out what is wrong instead of being doped up all the time.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for writing to us. It seems to be due to compression of nerve roots at lower back which causes radiation of pain to lower limb(radiculopathy). A physical examination is necessary to find out the exact cause. You need to consult a neurophysician who will advise you an MRI scan of the spine to assess nerve root compression. Hope this will help nourishing you good health... Regards.  Chat Doctor. Orthopedic Surgeon
