Hi Doc, I've been having these exact problems on the left side of my body: pain in the lower back/ buttock area, sharp pain on the front part of my knee, a warm pulsating/ rushing pain when standing or walking anything from 10 to 30 steps up to a point it becomes unbearable and I cant continue walking, same applies when I stand. I'm typically speaking a very fit 47 years old person at least before this problem that I've had for the past 3 weeks begun (just a few weeks ago I could do muscle ups, burpees, hand stand push ups, long distance cross country runs and swim at least a 100 yards). One other concerning thing I've observed is my left calf on the same affected side has become smaller in muscle mass compared to the right unaffected side.😢 These problems begun really after driving a manual transmission / stick gear car which requires the left leg to be used on pressing the foot clutch, i fear I over extended my left leg in stretching out. I will be going for an MRI in the next two days. Amy kind of advise will be helpful. Thanks
