Do knee pain and muscle spasm common in diabetics?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. According to your complaints, there may be chances of nerve root compression, which causes pain in legs. Many times nerve that supplies legs are coming out of the spinal cord, and the function of these nerve roots are hampered due to compression at spinal cord level. So, my suggestion is to do MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of LS spine with the screening of the whole spine. So, we can check the status of the level and severity of the nerve root compression and diameter of the nerve root foramen.

I am experiencing low back pain after lifting heavyweight. Kindly interpret my MRI.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. As per your history of weight lifting and finding of MRI (attachment removed to protect patient identity) sacralization of L5-S1 disc and nerve root compression at L3-L4 and retrolysthesis L3 and L4 means posterior displacement of one vertebra over another occurs. So that it also causes nerve root compression, which is responsible for pain sensation and motor (movement). Sometime pain also radiates to the lower limb, tingling and numbness may happen, and sometime hypoesthesia may happen. In your case, pain is restricted to back only not radiated and other areas I think.
