Patient's question:
I'd like to ask, after reviewing the information, I feel that the symptoms of pubic symphysis diastasis and lumbar disc herniation are somewhat similar. My mother's legs feel sore when walking, and basically she can't even lift her foot when crossing her legs (it hurts when lifted high). The doctor said it's because the nerves are being compressed, not just regular pain. What exactly is going on?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it seems to be a lumbar spine issue. It is recommended to undergo imaging tests such as X-rays and MRI scans to determine the next course of treatment.
